We missed you, Mya. The veteran singer is jumping back in the spotlight with her new sultry visuals for “Ready for Whatever.” The song is in the vein of what you’re hearing on the radio these days, but it’s executed well. If you listened to this blindly, you’d assume you’re hearing a new or younger artist (I’ll concede that may be a bad thing depending on your musical tastes).
Mya is just one year removed from her Sweet Jones EP. Do we have another project on the way?
Young M.A and the Red Life crew are down in Miami enjoying the good life in the new visuals for “Same Set.” M.A’s little dance on the bike is killing me. Her latest, the HERstory EP, is available now on all streaming platforms.
With Jay Z having listed it as one of his 4:44 inspirations, ATL’s Playboy Carti has finally unleashed some visuals for his massive hit “Magnolia.” Special effects abound as Carti acts out the chorus on the streets of NYC. Look out for an appearance from A$AP Rocky. Carti’s self-titled debut is available on all streaming platforms.
Rick Ross’ stern criticism of Birdman finally gets some visuals with this new clip for “Idols Become Rivals.” A song like this would’ve greatly benefited from a Birdman stand-in (think “Dre Day”), but Rozay opts to follow his usual video format with opulent shots of his mansion, cars and plaques. We do get one unintentional comedic moment with producer Bangladesh staring as the graphic details the alleged money owed to him from Cash Money.
Rather You Than Me is in stores now.
Ok Goapele, you have me ready to risk it all now. The Bay Area songstress is at her sensual best in her new visuals for “Secret.” As the title implies, this is a hidden, erotic love affair laced with a hint of danger, represented by the white snake seen slithering about. Later, we see the animal enveloping Goapele, implying her acceptance of her most forbidden desires.
You can find this track and more on Goapele’s new Dreamseeker EP.
Apollo Brown and Skyzoo pay creative homage to the legendary Stretch and Bobbito in their new video “On the Stretch & Bob Show.” Four Brooklyn kids play the principals and engage in a mock interview before Skyzoo goes into his bars. The VHS style visuals are the last touch that helps transport you back to the 90s. The clip is directed by Isam Muhammad.
The Easy Truth in stores everywhere.
From the booth to the pulpit. Young M.A declares her autonomy in the video for “Self M.Ade,” the latest video off her Herstory EP. The soul sample has a throwback feel (think early 2000s NYC) so even older heads can appreciate.
