Video: Voices Voices, “Flulyk Visions”
This isn’t hip-hop, per se, although Prefuse 73 produced it. However, I’ve been playing this song for months. The video is okay, but it doesn’t really do the track justice. Directed by Cuauhtzin Gutierrez. Taken from the Origins EP, which … Continue reading
Video: El-P, “Time Won’t Tell”
From the press release: “The video for El-P’s “Time Won’t Tell” is inspired by a childhood memory of director Shan Nicholson, who grew up in the “Old New York” during a time when necessity often bred creativity. This video depicts … Continue reading
Video: S.O.U.L. Purpose, “Love Is Love”
Here’s one from New York group Mazzi and S.O.U.L. Purpose, with Maya Azucena on the chorus. From the forthcoming mixtape The Inspection.
Video: Invincible & Waajeed, “Detroit Summer / Emergence”

Video: Mexicans With Guns, “Dame Lo”
Tejano psychedelia, courtesy of Duey FM. Directed by Brian Torres Korlofsky. Taken from Me Gusto, which is in stores now.
Video: Flying Lotus, “MmmHmm”
Video time. First up: a clip featuring Thundercat, a lady in green foliage, and 8-bit gaming graphics. Directed by Special Problems. Taken from Cosmogramma, which is in stores now.
Video: MED, “MEDical Card”
MED and Madlib go the boogie route. My only problem is that MED lays his head to sleep on a stack of records near the end. A true record lover would never do that.
Reflection Eternal’s “Ballad Of The Black Gold”
Props to Talib Kweli and Hi-Tek for commissioning this video. Kweli gets so much criticism for being an anachronism — a rapper concerned with social issues. It takes a major disaster like the BP oil spill in the Gulf of … Continue reading
Uh oh, Taz Arnold’s trippin’ again
I spotted this video over at Okayplayer.com. As you know, I am a big fan of Sa-Ra Creative Partners, even when it comes to their coked-out material. But “South$ide Blood Cuzn” is kind of a mess. It’s bliss funk that’s … Continue reading
Mayer Hawthorne’s “I Wish It Would Rain”
I think this is the fourth video from A Strange Arrangement. This isn’t my favorite track on the album, and I think I liked the “Green Eyed Love” clip better. But check it out for yourself. Directed by Henry DeMaio.
