Miguel - Arch & Point [Music Video]

In just two days, I've played Miguel's new EP Art Dealer Chic, Vol. 2 at least ten times through. My favorite, the sensual "Arch & Point," was given the visual treatment, which only adds to his abstract and artistic image.

"Take It Off (Dim The Lights)" is one of my favorite Pharrell tracks of all time and I'm glad someone else appreciates it. Check out Theophilus London and Devonte Hynes (A.K.A. Blood Orange) as they cover the SERTAfied track and put their own spin on it.

David Banner ft. Tank - Let Me In

David Banner taps into the "sex" category of his upcoming mixtape Sex, Drugs, & Video Games as he and Tank are hoping to have a lucky night. Check out David Banner's appeal for his 2M1 Movement:

"And what is “The Movement” you may ask? This movement is to start controlling our own music, movies and content…PERIOD! As David Banner states “We are not simply characters in a video game being controlled by the invisible hand. Once this donation goal is met, I’m going to shoot a movie that will drop 5-22-2013 and a portion of the donations are also going to charity. Big shout out to Louie C.K. for the motivation. Download this LP for FREE and make sure to support the movement."
