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. For more info, head to Raz's official store.

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...

Grieves - "Let It Through" (Video)

In September, Grieves liberated new music for the first time since releasing his  Running Wild album in 2017 and now the Rhymesayers Entertainment artist comes through with the official visual treatment for "Let It Through". The single denotes both the artistic range of Grieves and the personal growth and self-discovery the wordsmith has been experiencing over the course of his journey here in the physical. Packed with relaxed melodies and a calmly delivered labyrinth of wordplay, the sentimental "Let It Through" is presented with a composed, collected and self-aware delivery. Grieves is experiencing a state of acceptance, finding peace with what is rather than attempting to swim against the current of life.  Throughout the record, one gets a sense that Grieves is learning from - and growing through - the chaos that has encapsulated and shaped his life. It's vital to recognize the importance of documenting the destruction if one desires to showcase the ...

Tobe Nwigwe - "Ode To Fat" (feat. David Michael Wyatt) [prod. LaNell Grant] (Video)

Love, of course, is not an easy road to travel. But, when the love is real and when the love is divine, all the challenges, hardships and trials prove to be worth it. Real love - true love - always prevails. As the visual descends from the Heavens, Tobe Nwigwe begins the dulcet delivery of his prose. With a stoic demeanor, he stands with his Queen, as an enchanting dance installment takes place in the field upon which they stand. Nwigwe chronicles the journey that is his soul connection with Fat while the camera pans out. With "Ode To Fat", Tobe Nwigwe reveals the blessing from God that is the pregnancy of his wife. And this, he states, is "the most genuine form of happiness [he's] felt." From there, the latest #getTWISTEDsundays release is like an angelic embrace from the parents-to-be, the words of Nwigwe containing such an incomparable purity and bliss that it's near impossible not to catch goosebumps from this release. Saturated with artistic exp...
