New black and white visuals for Common & Nas‘s “Ghetto Dreams.” I’d say they casted well for the image Common verbally created on his verses. She looks like a badder (and less exposed) Kelly Rowland. Look out for Common’s The Dreamer The Believer and Nas’s Life is Good albums coming in the Fall.
BONUS
Check out Hoodie Allen & Your Favorite Martian’s video for 8-Bit world. Hoodie does his thing w/ his verse and the video/concept is dope.

Paper Diamond just dropped his take on SBTRKT & Little Dragon’s “Wildfire” earlier today over at This Song Is Sick. He adds some head-nodding flare to a track that already bangs. The version with Drake is definitely one of the best releases so far this year. Check it out below and scope our post on him from yesterday.

New video from The Jealous Guys for “Genesis,” off their upcoming Audiobook EP. Grab ‘The Love Mixtape’ and get familiar, you’ll be happy you did. They’re gettin love from some big names today around the cybersphere and it’s deserved, this track is pretty powerful. We need this shit up on Rap Genius, I find myself rewinding to get these lines.

With Outside Lands just a few days away, I’m doing my best to live vicariously through all you lucky fucks. The first step is making sure you don’t miss Paper Diamond. Paper Diamond is the side (or forward) project of Alex B, accomplished maker of rhythmic, finely crafted beats — although the term beats sells the sound far short. He dropped his first EP, “Levitate,” under his new moniker on Pretty Lights‘ Record Label earlier this year for free, in typical PLM fashion. The 9-song EP has the flexible type of sound that can be enjoyed by almost anyone in any given setting. Its impact can be as little as a slight head nod to as much as involuntary moving of every body part. His tunes have the Pretty Lights sound with a little less melody and a little more hip-hop influence. He dabbles in photography, graffiti, and graphic design as well, so his album art is visually appealing and I’m sure his show will be too. I guess you can say he’s a well-rounded artist of all trades. Check a video of his performance at the Snowball Music Festival for a peek and grab the Levitate EP below.

Remix Artist Collective lay their hands on another great track, improving it with their unique flair. Alex Winston‘s vocals are awesome and they make it a little more dance-able as usual, mixing in the sounds of a variety of instruments. This one’s extremely catchy. Check out the interview we got with them a couple months back.

Prince Ea promised “the video of the year,” and didn’t disappoint. One of the more creative videos we’ve seen in a while, I’m down with the movement. Read a book. Make smart cool.
