The visuals for “Space Case” by Hopie Spitshard x Del the Funky Homosapien are now available for viewing. The pair star in a heavily stylized, off-center but visually curious production courtesy of Dutton Films. It kinda goes for that retro view of the future. At least from an aesthetics point of view, it matches the tone of the song but I can’t vouch for how well some of those effects will stand the test of time. The album from which this is on, Raw Gems, is due September 13th.

R&B singer Paul Kim looks to have locked down a big placement, singing the hook on an upcoming track by California Hip-Hop staple Crooked I, also of Slaughterhouse fame.

MV Released for “Lighters” Featuring Bruno Mars by Bad Meets Evil
The odd track out from the recent Bad Meets Evil (Em x Royce) EP, Hell: The Sequel, featuring Bruno Mars has been given the official music video treatment. It’s an obvious choice as to why the duo chose to promote this song even though it stuck out like crazy from the rest of the EP, and that’s because it’s a big commercial success – largely in thanks to the current it-singer/hit-maker Bruno Mars. But I’m sure you already knew that based on the countless covers on Youtube. Take a gander below.
Get the song on iTunes & Amazon.

The visuals weren’t nearly as impressive as his last outing (“Slappage“), but they are solid in their own right. It seems like Furis is the go-to guy when you need a decent street vid put together in the K-Town area as he adds Surrilla to his ever expanding resume of projects.

There’s not much to say except once seen, things cannot be unseen. Suckas. It should be pretty self explanatory why this is a Worst Ever.
