The Cover MVs Youtube Round-Up – 4/23/12

The first round-up for the last full week of April is a collection of cover music videos. The bread and butter of most Youtube artists are their cover videos, and sometimes they go the extra mile and put together a music video set to the tune/instrumental written by another. This particular batch of videos happen to be mostly of the R&B and Hip-Hop variety, but a couple of Pop records found their way into the mix too.

Lil Crazed x Traphik x Auburn Remix “Sleazy” by Ke$ha

Baiyu Covers “Roc Me Out” by Rihanna

Jasmine V x JDrew Cover “Crew Love” by Drake x The Weeknd

On Fire Entertainment x Jargon x Mike Musni Present MV for “Dreams”

What do you get when you mix On Fire‘s Loe, L-Dubbs, Rocky Sandoval, Miss TLu, Jargon and Mike Musni of IBU? The answer would be “Dreams”, a new collaborative tracks between all the artists, complete with music video. There’s a big variety of talent here from emcees to singers but there is a downside. It looks like they chose a non-exclusive beat from producer Johnny Juliano. How do I know this? It’s the exact same one used by D-League for “Big Dreams, 2Pac Nightmares“. I guess that’s the risk when hitting up popular producers. The song will be included on the soon-to-be-released Sex, Drugs, Rap & Soul.

The Cover Music Videos Youtube Round-Up – 3/27/12

Music Video Tuesday! Ok, that’s not a real thing, but that’s our theme of today’s round-up of Youtube video covers. Admittedly, the last video isn’t exactly a music video so much as it is a gigantic mash-up of footage. But when you’re dealing with 50 different artists and trying to work all those clips together, we figure it’s just as much work as any other MV production, so we’ve gone ahead and included it too. Enjoy!

This could be our biggest round-up yet. We’ve got more music videos of covers and remixes for you, so no one-take-sessions or studio sessions here. These are those Youtube videos where the audio and video were done at different times, requiring that much more work to bring you just a few minutes of entertainment a piece. So if you’ve got some time to kill, go through this playlist of 14 (yes, FOURTEEN) MVs across various genres. Which ones are your favorites?

Jargon Presents a “Modern Day Fairy Tale”

Jargon and his team have gone all out for their latest music video, a plot, acting and a whole bunch of cameos in supporting roles. Michelle Martinez, Tommy C., J.Reyez, Lil Crazed, Mike Musni, and whole lot more! That being said, it’s certainly one of the more entertaining MVs we’ve seen in a while. Check it out below.

 

IBU Releases the MV for “Broken Record”

As they previously indicated, IBU has dropped their official MV for the song “Broken Record” off their album Inspired By U. The visuals are very sharp and fairly well done. Besides a couple cheesy scenes I enjoyed this video though I’m not entirely sure the dance choreography really fit. This was one of the stronger songs on the album and although it’s a little late I’m glad they finally dropped something to promote it.

IBU Posts Trailer for the “Broken Record” MV

It may have been a year and a half since their sophomore album Inspired By U dropped, but that doesn’t mean the group IBU is finished promoting it. The single “Broken Record” is getting the official music video treatment and is slated to drop March 26th. The trio just posted up the trailer and it looks like this one’s gonna have the fellas showing off their acting chops for some dramatic scenes. Check back here on a-Tunes on the 26th to peep the video!

Tommy C Sings a Great Cover Called “Endlessly”

Tommy C from IBU has come out with another video.  He covers the song “Endlessly” originally by B4 – 4.  As much as I like his voice and he sings very well, I want to hear something amazing from him.  I think he has the potential to be better, he just needs to branch out and try new things.  As for the video, he sang very well and it’s something that I would suspect from Tommy, no less.  The guitarist Shalimar Gaza played the guitar very well but I feel like she had a blank face, she should smile more often!  If you like the song, here is the Free DL!

Tommy C x KiddBeatz x BeatBoxHitman – Love The Way You Lie, Broken Record, Whatcha Say (Covers)

Simplicity to the max!  Tommy C from IBU teamed up with two beatboxers named Sophia aka KiddBeatz and the BeatBoxHitman!  They covered three songs together, which were “Love The Way You Lie”, “Broken Record”, and “Whatcha Say.”  It wasn’t the full length of each song but a short snippet of them.  Without instrumentals except the beatboxers, I think this sounds wonderful.  Sometimes you just need plain and simple than bold and complex, it turns out better for the most part.  I thought it was cute that Sophia did little dance for “Whatcha Say”, acting as the girl in the song.  Hope you guys enjoy the video!

Thai x IZ x Tommy C x J. Reyez x Lil Crazed Drop the “Girlfriend” MV & Single

In a big collaboration of Youtube rappers, 454′s Thai & IZ team up with Tommy C of IBU, J. Reyez and Lil Crazed for a new single and music video called “Girlfriend”. We showed you the preview for the song a month ago but now you can see the final version. The song is also available on iTunes. This is a tune I’m sure the ladies are gonna love. It’s a solid pop song for sure. The video production values are crisp (as always from 454) and they chose some great locations around the bay for the shoot. If you’re looking for a light, catchy tune you’ll prob enjoy this release.
