Directed by Marco Simmons & GLC Whether it be the floor or “The Flow” — you gotta rise above it. If you’re knocked down, you gotta get back up. If you’re at ground zero, you gotta keep pushing to get back on your feet. That’s life. Sometimes the deck is stacked against you. Many have…

Reese might be fresh off the release of his collabo album with Durkio, but that’s not stopping him from promoting his solo ventures, as today he’s cut loose the clip for “Day After Day.” This joint is hard — no denying that. If you have a system, press play at your own peril — it’ll…
Directed by JVisuals312 A few weeks back, Mulatto Beats dropped his pretty great new project, 22 Summers. The early standout for me was this King Louie-assisted “Long Live The Kings,” which in my opinion brought Louie back to the zone I like him in.

Taylor Bennett is popping, and when you’re popping you can do what you want. Just facts. Feeling good and excited to share some work with his fans, Tay cut loose a new 13-song project titled Throw Aways — but the content is nothing to throw in the can. On this one, he blessed the people…
Durkio dropped his Supa Vultures project a couple of weeks back, and over the weekend he cut loose the video for his solo shot on the project, “Nobody Knows.” It’s a personal favorite from the EP, and a rare introspective look into the world of Durk. From family to relationships to life as a man…
