My favorite song off Ab-Soul’s Control System got the visual treatment a couple weeks back. I have to admit that I have slightly warmed-up to his album since making this post.
ANTHM - “God of Joy”
This is probably my favorite ANTHM joint yet minus that dreadful hook. It is directed by va$htie who also happened to direct the video for one of my favorite Kendrick Lamar songs. If you don’t know who ANTHM, I wrote a short piece for him a while back that you can find here.
Jay-Z and Kanye West - “No Church in the Wild”
This is better than The Great Gatsby trailer.
This guy.
He did it during a show in the Netherlands. The video for his song “Monotony” off Acousmatic Sorcery is below.
Capital STEEZ - AmeriKKKan Korruption
AMERIKKKAN KORRUPTION came about during a time in my high school years where everyone was following fads and trying to fit in and naturally I did the same. It got to a certain point where I asked myself why? I started to open my eyes, I was a slave to television, media, and the daily motions of what we call the AMERIKKKAN Dream. My only intentions are to get the AMERIKKKAN Public to open up that 3rd eye just a little bit, and from there we ALL can grow.
Too much political rap lately (see Ab-Soul or Killer Mike) but this mixtape deserves recognition. Capital STEEZ is in the Pro.Era crew that has been making some noise lately. Download the tape here.
If you have some free time, spend it watching these videos. They are all superb.

“Val Venis”, a snap-ready song from up-and-coming Chicago rapper King Louie, is named Best New Track.
