Austin Vesely and Hannibal Buress linked up to create the visuals for Chance the Rapper’s latest #AcidRap single, “NaNa.” They received 5K from Jash, the web based YouTube comedy channel, to create a video. They ended up spending it on a chicken costume, lunch with Childish Gambino, and a couple of fly red and blue suits. Check it out below and enjoy! April 30th!
ACITM where you at? MIA for a bit, traveling everywhere from Miami, Austin, France, Dublin, and Valencia. Back with the music video for A$AP Rocky’s Skrillex produced banger “Wild for the Night.” The video features the boys spending time in the Dominican Republic, riding mini motor cycles through the streets, walking around with strapped 8 year olds as protection, and playing the track for the DR crowd in a small venue, a size neither have seen probably in years. Awesome video, wonder what the budget was on this one. Watch below!
A-Trak released the video to the “Piss Test” remix featuring Juicy J, Jim Jones, El-P, Flatbush Zombies, and Flosstradamus today. Directed by Shomi Patwary, the video features all the guys partying, partying, taking drugs, and partying hard. Patwary has directed videos for A$AP Rocky, Diplo, Wale, and more. Check it out below and let us know what you think.
Ever since catching him with Trey Songz on the OOVOO Chapter 5 World Tour, I can’t get enough of Miguel. His Grammy performance only strengthened my belief that this guy is destined to be the future of r&b. He released the video to “Candles in the Sun” today. A bit different than his hit “Adorn,” the song steps away from “love song” and is a more introspective piece looking at the world at large. Here’s what he had to say about it… “It’s so easy to ignore what’s right in front of us sometimes… I wanted to create a song and visual that addressed my everyday concerns of life as I know it in the world that we live in.”
Check out the latest Maximum Hedrum video, “Synthesize.” The video features footage from the Girl Films and Chocolate Cinema skateboarding film Pretty Sweet directed by Spike Jonze, Ty Evans, and Cory Weincheque. Maximum Hedrum is a unique electronic-funk hybrid featuring Sam Spiegel, the vocals of Derrick Green from the seminal heavy metal band Sepultura, and German musician and producer Harold Faltermeyer. Enjoy and let us know what you think.

A great video for a powerful song.
