Chidera and Xaphoon serve up something fresh from their Breakfast LP as they drop the video for “Handclaps & Guitars.” The video makes use of the duo’s performance footage from this year’s SXSW festival and is directed by Taylor Smith. I’m not mad at this joint.
DJ Khaled takes you behind the scenes of the photo shoot for his upcoming sixth LP, Kiss The Ring. Throughout the video Khaled is pretty adamant about you puckerin up for the pinky stone given to him by Busta Rhymes ([||] if applicable). The usually “We The Best” propaganda ensues with Busta offering some additional smack talk. Khaled’s homie and sneaker connoisseur Mayor also comes through with some fly footwear for the Miami DJ. The concept of the shoot looks like a pretty dope one, with Khaled placing his office right in the middle of the street.
Sidenote: If DJ Khaled lets you cut his hair, are you the best barber? #FoodForThought
