New Music Video: Aubrey Mikel - Locked Door

From the sounds of his latest track "Locked Door," El Paso singer/songwriter/lyricist Aubrey Mikel seems like the breath of fresh air that's needed in music today.  In the visuals, Aubrey helps further convey the fact that he's building a wall around his heart after being hurt too many times.  Who can't relate to that?

Watch the music video to "Locked Door" below, and hit me up on Facebook or Twitter to let me know if you're feeling Aubrey!

Props to XL Urban Media & to my homie Suprawhiz who put me on to him!

New Music Video: Hollywood FLOSS - So Much To Say ft. Brian Angel

Houston's own Hollywood FLOSS is staying true to himself so that he gains a quality group of followers One Fan At A Time.  On the video for his mixtape's standout track "So Much To Say," he "was venting about all of the sacrifices you make for the industry.  And even with all those sacrifices, the industry is unkind, but we still love the craft and attempt to be successful at it."

Check out the visuals below which feature him rhyming passionately in front of a graffiti backdrop with a duo of mimes. Yes. Mimes. If anything, watch for the mimes!

New Music: Slim Thug ft. Bun B & Paul Wall - U of H Fight

Slim Thug created a fight song especially for the University of Houston Cougars for this week's installment of Thugga Thursdays.  Bun B and Paul Wall help Slim Thugga rep his city, and I'm just wishing that the three of them will just drop a mixtape or something.  They've been on songs together like crazy this year!

Joe Budden - She Don't Love Me ft. Emanny

If I've learned anything from being a fan of Joe Budden's music, it's that he will probably never EVER trust a woman.  With assistance from his Summer Leather Vest bandmate Emanny, he continues to rhyme cleverly about his relationship woes.

P.S. The end is all kinds of intense. NSFW alert
