If you are reading this now having never experienced the music of Foals before, then prepare to have your day (and life) changed.

Hitting the net sometime in the last 24 hours, Foals have released the official video for “Bad Habit.” The clip finds a man stranded in a desert following what appears to be a plane crash.

He journeys after her, longing for her touch, and in the end you have one of the most interesting videos in recent memory. You can enjoy the clip below.

Foals have been working on new material, but nothing new is set in stone just yet. Stay tuned. Continue reading ‘Foals Release “Bad Habit” Music Video’

Pennsylvania native Mac Miller has released the official music video for his latest single, “Watching Movies.”

Release just days before Miller’s Sophomore album is scheduled to hit stores, “Watching Movies” is a bold visual step forward for the still young artist. The clip strips away Mac’s signature comedic stylings and replaces it with darker tones reminiscent of your favorite horror movie. It’s an obvious choice based off the source material, but it represents Miller’s larger move to be taken more seriously in hip hop in pristine fashion. You can enjoy the clip below.

Watching Movies With The Sound Off, the new album from Mac Miller, arrives in stores June 18. Continue reading ‘Mac Miller Releases “Watching Movies” Video’

Everyone’s favorite controversial teenage rapper is back in our headlines this morning with another trunk-rattling single.

Chicago’s Chief Keef has been grinding hard since his release from jail back in March of this year. Since that time Keef has released a handful of singles not heard on his 2012 debut album, and this morning his latest found its way online.

Entitled “Round Da Rosey,” the latest from Keef is not exactly a song you want to hear children sing while dancing in circles hand in hand. A wave of high hat, snare, and synth wash over you while Keef goes in about his money, women, and lifestyle. It’s nothing new for the young emcee, but that doesn’t mean it’s not good. You can stream “Round Da Rosey” below. Continue reading ‘Chief Keef Premieres “Round Da Rosey”’

Monday is off to a big start news wise as legendary rapper Jay-Z has announced plans to release a new album entitled, Magna Carta Holy Grail.

Set for limited release July 4 (we’ll explain in a second), Magna Carta Holy Grail is an album that no one expected but seemingly everyone cannot wait to have. Jay-Z has not hinted at new music beyond a single open letter track back in April, but as the video below shows there has certainly been more going on behind the scenes. You can view the announcement piece below.

So about that street date….

As part of a promotional stunt, which probably cost the company in question millions, Jay-Z will release his album to Samsung Galaxy owners 3 days before the general public on July 4. There will be a limited number of downloads available, so anyone interested in receiving an early copy is encouraged to act fast. Continue reading ‘Jay-Z Announces ‘Magna Carta Holy Grail’ Album’
