Hip-Hop, Videos | Accent — Everybody’s Crazy (feat. Kinetics) [Music Video Premiere]
Posted by jeffwbaird on February 28, 2013
It shouldn’t come as a surprise to you that I love introspective hip-hop—and man does this new Accent track take the cake. Amidst a genre primarily concerned with braggadocio and glorified false personas, Accent utilizes his singing skills to evoke this powerful jam about “accepting the imperfections that define us, and being proud of them.” The Kid Vision-produced single from his Sight & Sound EP features a verse from frequent collaborator Kinetics—whose internal rhyme-schemes become more impressive by the song—and impressive visuals courtesy of Hickory that highlight the song’s meaning and personal nature, which Accent eloquently described for us:
“The song recognizes that every human has their own unique qualities, yet it acknowledges that those differences between us are what make all of us the same; everyone struggles with their own experiences and identities. The sources of my own pain are very literally expressed here and every word is carefully recited making for a clear projection of the message. I reference my own issues regarding bi-raciality, growing up without a father and being almost obsessed with what I loved about my childhood but I also touch on my capacity for love and the purpose I have for existing. While “Everybody’s Crazy” comes from a sad place in my heart it encourages people to transform the negativity in their histories into a beautiful representation of the strength they have developed from it.”
Hip-Hop | Mike Stud – Perfect for Me (Prod. Julkeyz) [Music Video]
Posted by LoffyG on February 11, 2013
I present to you the first video/single off Mike Stud’s upcoming project, which is slated for a release in the near future. It has been a minute since we’ve got an all original track from Mike and I’ve got to say I’m diggin’ it. I think that many people in our younger generation can relate to a song like this. After getting a small taste of what the project has to offer, I’m looking forward to hearing more. Shout out to Jon Kilmer for this great set of visuals. Follow Mike below on his social media outlets for the latest updates.

Hip-Hop, Videos | D-WHY – 2,000 Miles [Music Video]
Posted by Jess on January 23, 2013
After much anticipation, D-WHY releases the visuals to “2,000 Miles”, one of my favorite songs off his debut free album Don’t Flatter Yourself. The song is a coming-of-age of D’s travels from his hometown in West Virginia to the west. For the video, D hoped in an RV with his friends (including up-and-coming rapper KYLE) and set out on a journey across the southern California coast. At the end of the video, you can find a hidden ending that showcases another side of D-WHY, his passion of folk music that recently came to light with his release of a “Song For Newtown”. Check out the video above and download Don’t Flatter Yourself below if you have yet to do so.

Probably my favorite song off of Big Sean’s mixtape, Detroit, finally gets the video treatment. As usual, Big Sean enlists the illroots boys to provide the magic for his video. I’ll let the visuals speak for themselves so just peep it above and make sure to remember that AINT NOTHIN MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE MULA, a pretty good life motto if you ask me.
