Happy New Year everyone! We’re starting things off with a new batch of remix/cover music videos by some of your favorite artists across multiple genres. R&B, Pop/Rock, and Hip-Hop are all represented here with visuals that are a lot stronger than your average cover performance video. Enjoy and we hope you’ve had a fantastic start to 2012!

The kid Prizzy seems to himself in the company of like-minded young artists, and that’s a good thing because it means he’s constantly on his grind and collaborating with a number of folks. One of his more recent features was for Boogz Boogetz on the track “Bow Down”, off the mixtape Flyer Learning. It’s a upbeat, current track that will appeal more to some than others. Take a listen in the clip below.
I’m always a fan of concept videos, and the latest combination of D-Pryde and Rik Cordero on the audio and visuals respectively yields a fresh take on the rap battle. Interestingly enough, the entire production is actually an extended commercial for Pryde’s new snapbacks – available from his online store. You honestly can’t go wrong on the video front when you got Cordero in your camp.
“Wings Up” is the latest video from D-Pryde, where the young rapper takes a hand held camera and goes nuts for a few minutes. The visuals are a bit seizure-inducing, but once you get past that you realize it’s a pretty decent rap track. Be on the lookout for more activity from Pryde, it really seems like his career is about to jump off in a big way. The kid has accomplished a lot in just a few short years.
Word has reached us that D-Pryde has a little guest spot for Andrew Garcia, the Youtube star who tried his luck with a run on American Idol a couple seasons ago. The song is called “Star” and is Garcia’s latest single, also featuring Seven. I haven’t had the chance to hear it myself yet but on paper this sounds like an intriguing collab. Hopefully it sees a release outside of the iTunes universe but for right now you can get it through the fruit sponsored mp3 store.

Here’s a new video drop from the kid D-Pryde. The song is off his Mars Mixtape from earlier in the Summer, and makes use of a very familiar sample from Journey. Both the song and video are classic D-Pryde, full of catchy and fun energy. Still kind of startling to look back and realize the dude started rapping remixes in-front of a webcam. Check out the MV below!
Canada’s August Rigo is one the quickest rising artists doing it right now, and he’s just released a mixtape titled Too Big To Fail. He’s written for artists like Bieber and is part of the BMI family. The singer’s project includes a feature from Prizzy, among others, not to mention a drop from Busta! The singer certainly has developed a fair amount of industry buzz for himself, now you find out why. Stream it below to check it out or download it in it’s entirety from his website.
We don’t always post up remix MVs, but we figured D-Pryde deserved just a little extra shine today being his birthday and all. In the following clip, Prizzy spits over the “Freaks and Geeks” instrumental, originally by Childish Gambino. As expected, the kid kills it but since this isn’t an official song of his, it doesn’t have the polished production values like those videos directed by Rik Cordero. Happy Birthday to Mr. Prizzy!
This is yet another collaboration between Prizzy and director Rik Cordero. It’s a good look to have him in this corner because the visuals for the August Rigo assisted “Big Shot” are on point – but I suppose that’s only to be expected from the seasoned videographer. The song has a more R&B/Drake-ish type of feel to it though it’s kind of refreshing to hear a mellowed out D who typically spits with an aggressive tenacity.
Jin must have been real bored. His latest video is a humorous “attack” at his fellow internet-era contemporaries. The 4 minute freeverse includes mentions of Joseph Vincent, JR Aquino, AJ Rafael, David Choi, Victor Kim, Kina Grannis, Erika David, Jayesslee, J. Reyez, D-Pryde, Dumbfoundead, Crazed, Traphik, Toestah and more. Only, before anyone jumps to conclusion, it’s all a roundabout way of acknowledging and recognizing his friends and colleagues for doing their thing in a new age of entertainment. It’s a backhanded diss, if you will.
