New Music Video: Laelo - Trading Places

Word about Laelo was spreading fast during the A3C Festival.  His material was everywhere, and I couldn't help but check him out.  What stook out to me was the music video for "Trading Places," which samples a cover of Kate Hill's "Running Up That Hill."

I'll let Laelo explain the concept behind the song:

Have you ever thought about what you would do if given the power of the Almighty for 24 hours? I'm sure some of you have. Some say it's arrogant to ever try to imagine what you would do with God's powers. What do you think?

New Music: Bridget Kelly - Seek and Destroy

Roc Nation's next songstress to blow, Bridget Kelly, has slowly become one of my favorite new singers.  She's edgy, beautiful, AND she can probably outsing most female R&B artists out here now.  Listen and download "Seek and Destroy" below, a powerful, rock influenced track written by The-Dream, in which Bridget Kelly bluntly tells her man that he better not break her heart.

Her upcoming project, Every Girl EP, drops this Wednesday (10/19)!

New Music: Snoop Dogg & Wiz Khalifa - French Inhale ft. Mike Posner

Snoop Dogg & Wiz Khalifa are soon to be titled the next Method Man & Redman given that they're putting out a weed-themed movie together called Mac and Devin Go To High School.  I can already imagine how foolish this will be, especially since Snoop's a few years younger than my mom...

Anyways, they're dropping an original soundtrack for the film, which will feature the track "French Inhale" featuring Mike Posner.  Check it out below!
