GV - "Tunnelz" [Video]
GV is a next-generation hip-hop artist with Brooklyn blood and the mind of a revolutionary. With a name like “GV”, meaning, “God’s Voice”, this man is on a mission to make a profound statement with his music. His most recent singles, “Exhale” and “Another Hit” seemed to come out of nowhere as a one-two punch, knocking people off their feet and putting GV on top. With a new eager fan base awaiting his next move, his brand new single, “Tunnelz”, along with its compelling, fully realized music video, is sure to be the song that breaks him through as the voice of change in Hip Hop.
Like many artists, GV was easily distracted in school, preferring activities like drawing and writing. In fact, this is where he began writing poetry at a young age. After junior high school, he moved down South with his family, first to the suburbs of New Jersey, and then to the city of Tampa, Florida. Tampa proved to be integral to the mental and artistic growth of this gritty, no-holds-barred artist. He tried out college life down there, which was essential for him to learn exactly what he did NOT want to do with his life. His parents were completely unaware of his talents until he independently released the “Power of Now” music video, waking them up to the fact that their son had been mastering the trade of hip-hop right under their noses.
Fast forward to 2017 - GV’s heartfelt new single, “Tunnelz” is his most personal effort to date. Written in the style of a confessional, this artist seamlessly weaves social issues and the day-to-day life of a starving artist into the fabric of the song. The instrumentals behind him showcase an old-school beat. A tight drum kit, surrounded by fluttering keys and a fat bass, is engulfed by the crackle of an old vinyl record, providing a profound nostalgia for the listener. The old school vibe juxtaposed with GV’s signature futuristic delivery makes for a truly memorable sonic landscape. Video production company, A1 Vision has become the visual keystone of "all things GV." This dream team have created a cinematic masterpiece to accompany “Tunnelz” with a visual that speaks directly to the zeitgeist gripping urban centers across the country. GV goes hard, spits a solid flow, his message is clear.... and he's impossible not to root for.
Justin Clancy - "Work In Progress" [Video]
Work In Progress is a genre blending soulful song about our shortcomings as humans that we face day to day. The video tells an incredible story.
RSXGLD (Ro Spit & 14KT) - "ICU" [Video]
RSXGLD (aka the duo of Ro Spit and 14KT) stunt on their contemporaries in the fresh new video for their funky banger, “ICU.” It’s the latest we’re hearing from their highly anticipated joint album, which is now available!
First of all, hats off to 14KT for flipping a classic funk ballad into a underground Hip-Hop banger, because his instrumental absolutely knocks. It’s also a fitting backdrop for Ro to talk his sh*t, a characteristic he’s definitely become well-known for over the years. What’s interesting, though, is that “ICU” is actually one of the more bravado-focused tracks on RSXGLD, which you’re welcome to make that determination on your own by giving the full album a spin.
And similar to their previously released visuals for “I Believe,” “ICU” was also directed by the talented Perry Grone. That means you can expect crisp, remarkably edited visuals that emphasize the energy of the song itself. Ro and KT capture the raw energy of “ICU” as well, particularly when showing off their moves for the camera.
Check out the visuals, and head over to the digital retailer of your choice to stream or download, RSXGLD. The 12 track LP boasts features from Royce da 5’9”, Denaun Porter, Elzhi, JMSN, Ronnie McNeir and more, and is also available on both CD and vinyl , via Fat Beats Records.

Misunderstood - "Ghetto Style" [Video]
British pop duo Misunderstood have revealed the video for their debut single ‘Ghetto Style’. The track was written by Misunderstood and Maegan Cottone (Little Mix, Britney Spears, Olly Murs).
The duo also recently announced a headline show at the infamous Curtain Club in Shoreditch, London on November 28, in association with Live Nation.Misunderstood are South East Londoners Stephan Benson and Jeff Okyere. They met while they were both at school, bonding over their love for music, choreography and their complicated childhoods. Although ‘Ghetto Style’ is their first proper release, the duo are no strangers to the limelight.
Having nabbed the Will.i.Am seal of approval and partied with Beyonce in West Hollywood, Misunderstood have also attracted an impressive following on their social channels, simply through touring and organically growing a fanbase.
Alongside recording songs like ‘Sucker’ and ‘Imma Do My Thang’ for their social networks, Misunderstood started producing and directing their own music videos – filming themselves as they travelled. Their fan base grew – and their dedication to their own marketing paid off as they accumulated huge numbers of fans on Facebook and even convinced promoters to let them support big acts like Chipmunk, Stooshe, DJ Fresh and even Boys II Men on their UK tours.
The boys say: “We feel most at home when we’re on stage. Playing live drives home exactly why we do what we do - the energy of performing to a crowd and showing what we’re all about is the most exciting thing in the world. We’re thrilled to be bringing our live show to The Curtain Club, and just in time for party season - let’s get it ON!”
“Our message is simple,” says Stephan. It’s about being free to be yourself. It’s about being happy in you. It’s about having fun. It’s storytelling about the people who aren’t being shouted about. You’ll see and hear that in everything; the music, our style and in our videos. Our personalities and beliefs are poured into our music.”

KaneGang (Hollywood Kane x Chucka Kane) - "Whats Good" [Video]
KaneGang is a group of college friends who turned an idea for a rap group into a positive movement. We decided that we could show that there are better ways to success than the streets and your dreams are attainable. We came up with the idea for a company then began by molding the different branches such as music, clothes, and acting. We make music for everybody but most importantly we feel that we make certified hits that could get major radio play.

Cheetah Bay - "100 Wrongs" [Video]
"This singer-songwriter-producer was born and bred in New York but his music seems better-suited to the City of Angels. He creates a certain brand of soul that makes for a great soundtrack to summer days—or the day after the night before." Mass Appeal
"'100 wrongs' is the first song from my self-produced EP, detourism. It's the story of a young man striking out on his own, searching for his purpose and learning to be his own best friend. Coming to terms with regrets and missteps and ultimately finding redemption in music. Bradley Murray’s visual conveys the wandering nostalgia of the song and really depicts the lonely promise of Los Angeles just as i found it, coming here from NYC without a plan two winters ago."

The White Dominos - "Everybody's Watching" [Video]
The White Dominos is the new sound. A roaring sound of melodic guitars and tight grooves with catchy tunes that sticks to your brain like glue. In their hometown, Aarhus, they are known as the ‘rebellious rock darlings’ because of their sexy attitude and wild rhythms that manifests the characteristics of how rock should sound in the 21st-century. Their new single, ‘Everybody’s Watching’, is a prime example, and will be available online on October 20.
The band explains: “’Everybody’s Watching’ is about the primal instinct that appears when you desire a person who doesn’t know. The tiny details of the person that drives you nearly crazy. The smell of the person that tickles your nostril, the voice that sounds like a thousand angels singing and the sensual movements that you can’t take your eyes off. Like a lion hunting its prey. But you’re not the only one who desires that person. Everyone does, and you struggle to get just the slightest attention. You are only one wolf out of a whole wolf pack, who howls at the moon and try to become the pack leader to get noticed.”
Ever since it all started in 2013 in Aarhus, Denmark, The White Dominos has been on a full-throttle journey towards the skies of rock’n’roll. Because of their energetic live shows and devil may care stage performance, The White Dominos has gained massive attention and received amazing reviews by music magazines and music blogs.
The White Dominos has played more than 200+ concerts all over the World including three Europe tours and has been the supporting act for Wolfmother and Band of Skulls. The rock trio have had their music aired on radios in Canada, USA and Hungary and have been aired live in Hungary by Hungarian national television with more than 60.000 viewers.
In the fall of 2016 The White Dominos released their independent single ‘Give It Up’ which was ranked 2nd on ITunes ‘Rock Chart’. Shortly afterwards the band was named ‘band of the week’ by Danish National Radio and received airplay on three of the biggest radio-stations in Denmark. The sound of The White Dominos’ ‘Give It Up’ was compared with bands as Arctic Monkeys and Queens of The Stone Age.
In 2017 The White Dominos started writing new tunes for their upcoming EP, which will be released in the Spring of 2018. Meanwhile the trio went on a tour in Norway that resulted in a big demand of the young guy’s solid rock music.
”Everybody’s Watching” (ICE CDS 254) is released on Iceberg Records October 20th 2017
Written by Jonas Sharpe, Daniel Bundgaard Potts & Mads Beck Hansen in corporation with Mads Tønder & Søren Zahle

Tony Black - "Get Back" [Video]
After eclipsing over 100,000 plays since its release, Tony Black’s newest single “Get Back” is finding it’s way through the wavelengths and onto dozens of certified playlists. Tony’s lyrics expressing his trials and tribulations in a relationship of an old flame are put on display with the help of Director, Nathaniel Kohfield. Come see all phases of a relationship we can relate to: love, jealousy, arguments, breakup, and coping. This is Tony Black; this is, “Get Back”
Wyclef Jean - "Turn Me Good" [Video]
Vibe says it's "grown and sexy." Rolling Stone calls it "sultry." Revolt describes the video as "seductive." Wyclef Jean announced his video on Twitter with his own warning that "this song will make you 'make love all night.' I am not responsible for 2am texts to your ex." This new Marvin Gaye-inspired "Turn Me Good" video is one for the masses with a level of swagger and style that few artists can deliver.
Since the release of his Carnival III: Fall and Rise of a Refugee album last month, Wyclef has been on a promotional tear. And it's been a diverse one, too. One day he's the Grand Marshal at the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series, which he then follows up shortly after with a TED Talk in New Jersey. A VH1 Save the Music performance and Grammy Museum opening day presentation serve as solid reminders of the massive clout he brings with him everywhere he goes. He also flexes his benevolent side with his participation in the Global Citizens Forum in Montenegro in mid-October.
While his previous video for "What Happened To Love" was a sunny, bombastic, outdoor party, "Turn Me Good" is like the late night after party. Set in a dark, smoky jazz club, the video features Wyclef behind the mic serenading a sepia-toned room, complete with a trove of stunningly beautiful dancers at his side. As he professes his love and affection for his lover, a secondary narrative plays out of Wyclef and his girl cruising the town in a Porsche stretch limo fit for a king.
Director Jose Javy Ferrer subtly works the editing of the video to a T to enhance each movement, each breath, and each shot to perfection. The lights drop out on cue with the lyrics, the video on her iPhone screen seamlessly transitions into the proper music video, and more. It's not relying on flashy tricks or layers of effects, but rather just the creative eye of a team with a vision. The beauty of the video is in its simplicity.
Denzil Porter - "Careless" [Video]
Denzil Porter
Semantics of Mr. Porter
That's Hip Hop
"Hailing from North Bronx NY, Denzil Porter is definitely a force to be reckoned with. Denzil Porter sounds like an artist fresh out of the golden era of Hip Hop. Adding substance to his witty lyrics, catchy hooks, quotes, and highly charismatic performances. What Denzil aims to achieve with his music is to allow its listeners to be inspired and to uplift them and others around them. Denzil may not be your typical conscientious rapper, he derives his lyrics from his experiences and allows his actions to tell his story rather than his words. The music captivates the mind and takes you into the world he envisions and you’ll always leave with " -MTV
"Once you hear him you get that he possesses a unique personality.."- Peter Rosenberg (Hot97)
"When I get a feeling, or in a mood, or something that happened at that moment… a song is something that stamps that moment for me, and also stamps the moment for the listener who relates."- Denzil Porter
