Up-and-coming Chi-Town rapper Rockie Fresh hops into his Deloreon to bring us a new visual for “Into The Future” from his Driving 88 mixtape. Director Nem Perez captures Rockie’s spin around the Chi as he gets his “Marty McFly” on. The video looks fresh, indeed.
Dapper emcee Vinny Cha$e drops off another fashionable visual (see “L.U.X.U.R.Y.”) with the Lex Luger-produced “Urban Outfitters.” The Harlem native’s latest video even features a cameo from one of the fashion game’s OGs, Marc Jacobs. “Urban Outfitters’ is off of Vinny’s Survival Of The Swag mixtape. Press play and watch the high-end-meets-hood cinema ensue. #IgnorantElegance
Dealer’s Note: That Supersonics jacket is pretty damn flee.
Bad Boy’s Los puts out a rare music video for his regal raps on “King Los” featuring Taylor Gang’s Lola Monroe. I’m still not sold on Diddy’s latest signee but only time and more music will tell if he’s worthy of a cosign. Directed by Alex Nazari.
Houston-bred emcee Killa Kyleon is the latest to hop on “Drank In My Cut” and spit their own blend of rhymes over the Kirko Bangz hit. Killa’s new project, T.R.I.L.L., is on the way. The video is directed by Be EL Be.
Soulja Boy Tell Em dishes out a visual for his 90-seconds of rap on “DMT.” It’s pretty much him just smoking and stuntin’ in the crib.
The Theorist has given us some great piano covers in the past including his takes on “High For This” and “N*ggas In Paris.” The musician recently linked up with Xclusives Zone to present his upcoming project, Music Of The Night. He drops a piano cover of J. Cole’s radio-friendly single “Work Out” as the first offering from MOTN and as expected, it doesn’t disappoint. He does a great job of building a sound that counters the mood of the original production and yet still manages to fluidly wrap itself around Cole’s lyrics. The Theorist’s instrumental EP, Ascension , is available now and you can download it for free here. Follow @MidtownNate

The visuals include some behind the scenes shots of the pop vocalist mixed in with some vintage footage.
While his young Scolla releases some roll-up visuals for “Round & Round” originally featured on DJ Clockwork and Treejay’s Piff Jar mixtape which dropped on 4/20 last year. The track makes for some good music to zone out to and light one. The video was directed by Scolla himself and filmed by TaylorMade. Although there’s still no officially date for the Detroit rapper/singer’s R&B EP, it should be arriving sooner than later.
