Raz Simone - "Make Love" (feat. Jay Park) (Video)

Less than a month after releasing his last album, Raz Simone has already announced his next project is set for liberation on February 14th. And if Still Love was Simone veering towards R&B vibes, then the first release off More Than Sex is a headfirst dive into the soulful, passionate crooning style.

With "Make Love", Raz reunites on wax with Jay Park to deliver an impassioned, poetic commentary on the often times ignored differentiation between fucking and making love. As he states on the new record, any two bodies can fuck - but it takes something different, a real connection, to come together and make love. Over the course of the More Than Sex single, Simone and Jay Park detail the type of emotional bond that's actually worth missin' joogs for. It goes beyond the purely physical act of sex/sexual release, existing in the invisible realm of energetic waves that bring two people together in the divine act - physical, emotional, spiritual and mental - of love.

"Make Love" is the perfect track to fire up as you prepare your Valentine's Day cards and, if it's any sign of what's to come, the upcoming More Than Sex might well serve as the ideal soundtrack to your February 14th.

As if we could expect anything less at this point, the accompanying visual - shot by Jacob Hill - is simply stunning, showcasing the slow build that culminates in a romantic evening between Raz and the subject of his prose. Featured between the storytelling shots, we see sharp clips of Simone and Jay Park delivering their vocals in front of picturesque landscapes.

Although More Than Sex drops on February 14th, fans can get their hands on the project early by subscribing to Simone's music service. In addition to early access to all future music, you also get free entry to his listening parties - including the gathering taking place on Sunday, February 10th.

Watch Now: Aaron Cohen & Eklips in Paris (Video)

While in Paris - which appears to be one of his homes away from home at this point - Aaron Cohen bumped into Eklips outside a train station. With cameras rolling, the renowned beatboxer proceeded to drop Dipset's " Oh Boy " instrumental as Cohen does what he does best, lacing the France-based musician's rendition of the track with characteristically self-confident quotables. Check out the off the cuff collaboration below and be on the lookout for Cohen's upcoming RED NEW YORK project.

Raz Simone - "Clout" [prod. Anthony Danza] (Video)

Fresh off the heels of another trip around the sun, Raz Simone comes through with his first visuals of 2018. In typical Raz fashion, the Black Umbrella founder holds nothing back on "Clout", addressing a myriad of subject matter with a confidently calm yet simultaneously aggressive delivery. Simone has always been one of my favorite artists to cover, thanks in large part to the layered presentation of his content. With "Clout", an essay could be composed on both the track itself and the accompanying video - while both seem almost overly simple upon first glance/listen, the song and video cover a lot of ground over the course of five and a half minutes. The visuals are split between two backdrops - Raz being "studied" in a research facility and Raz rapping in the street. The vibe of the production on "Clout" syncs up perfectly with the dreary, simple visual of Simone in the rainy streets...appropriately carrying a black umbrella. It's

God willing, each and every person birthed into this world will grow up. Some of us may reach an old age, some of us may be called home earlier than others - but, in some form or fashion, we all will grow older. It's a funny thing, the way our society perceives age. In some cultures, the elders are held to the highest esteem - for they are the ones with the knowledge and experience to hold true wisdom. While many in our society praise youth and the physical beauty associated with being young, it is only through the experience of living life that one learns about the world, and in turn, has the capability to learn about their own being. And still, we tend to look down upon those who have been blessed to experience a long, full life. Perhaps it's because so many "old" people seem to live a life of regret, looking back on their youth with a mind full of "what ifs" and "should haves". While young individuals are rushing to reach maturity,
