Sometimes a blogger’s page feels blessed by a lyricist and his mic. This is one of those moments. Here’s Marlon Craft’s (don’t act like you don’t know) latest visual for his track “The Feels”. Sit back and enjoy this authentic hip hop!
The Greener Side of Hip Hop
everything but the mc, the dj, & the two turntables… yeah, right!

“Suspension” by Coole High | @CooleHigh
Coole High recently released new visuals for his track “Suspension” which can be heard on his latest project “Clouded Visionary I”. Coole High is a nativev of Brooklyn but recently relocated to Las Vegas… And, after watching these visuals, you’ll also wonder how Coole High woke up in the Nevada desert with a glass of cognac in his hands. If you really know Coole High, if you are a fan of Coole High, then you know that cognac is synonymous with part of his “lifestyle baby”! Check it out and enjoy!

“Clouded Visionary I” is now available on bandcamp.
“Fantasy” by Bone Thugs ft. Jesse Rankins
Bone Thugs and Harmony’s Bizzy Bone and Krayzie Bone (Bone Thug) recently released their visuals for “Fantasy” featuring Jesse Rankins from their upcoming release “New Waves”. Sticking to their iconic rap style that we’ve all grown to love, Bizzy Bone and Krayzie Bone deliever a crazy summertime vibe track and make good on their new musical direction – hence “new waves”. Enjoy!
“Compton Zoo” – MC Eiht | @eihtOeight
“If ya’ shit get thick, then throw ya’ dice smarter… ” – MC Eiht
Compton’s MC Eiht and DJ Premier recently released their visuals for “Compton Zoo” which will be featured on MC Eiht’s forthcoming project “Which Way Iz West”. Although I’m “here” for MC Eiht’s gray beard (it’s synonymous with hip hop’s longevity to me) “Compton Zoo” has all the feels of a damn good West meets East Coast track complete with both veteran artists doing what they do best – rappin’ and scratchin’.
Happy Friday and y’all enjoy!
“The Message” (Official Video) – Track Seven Band @TrackSevenBand
“I said from the start, my team is the meanest…” – Cost
I might be late, well hella late for posting this, but Cost doesn’t know how many times I used to replay that line (and the entire track) even before Track Seven Band dropped the visuals for their inspirational track “The Message” back in April. Okay, maybe I was being a little selfish listening to the track on my headphones at work to brighten my day(s). Nevertheless Track Seven Band, may be the meanest rock/hip hop band but they are also proving to be some very cool, humble cats with a universal appeal when it comes to their music – think Bono/U2. And I love it!
Listen up, and enjoy “The Message”.
“In My Own Lane” (Official Video) – @FollowLadyTee
Okay, another blogging hiatus is done and over with. So why not start where we last left off? (See our previous post.) Lady Tee, I think TGSofHH blog pages where waiting patiently for your visuals for “In My Own Lane” hence the #BackToBack postings… we salute you! Y’all enjoy and fall in love with the Southern Cali vibe of Lady Tee all over again!
“In My Own Lane” by Lady Tee The Difference | @FollowLadyTee
When I first listened to Lady Tee’s (officially Lady Tee The Difference) “In My Own Lane”, my first thought was “Dammitt… I could have been bumpin’ this in my car when I was out running errands earlier!” With it’s classy West Coast feel and catchy “keep-it-100 chorus”, “In My Own Lane” would have certainly gelled well with the warm sunshine we are experiencing in California today. Listen to Lady Tee The Difference, so you can picture yourself rollin’ and enjoy! Thanks for listening.
“No Peace” (Official Music Video) by Rawlo Black | @RawloBlack
NRG Recordz artist Rawlo Black recently released visuals for his socially conscious “No Peace” track. “No Peace” is featured on the collaborative project “The Yellow Tape” with his partner in rhyme Steelo El. “Stay woke” and enjoy!
Bang This In Ya’ Whips: “Ladies Night” feat. Leila Dey by The Sorority | @thesororityyz
When individual freshness comes together to create royal dopeness on some classic hip hop Queendom shit, it’s nothing but pure flames! The Toronto collective The Sorority, which includes emcees Haviah Mighty, Keysha Freshh, pHoenix Pagliaccia and the “female 6 God” herself Lex Leosis, did a remake of Lil Kim’s “Ladies Night (Not Tonight Remix)” which features hip hop heavyweights (for our culture) Angie Martinez, Left Eye (R.I.P.) , Da Brat, and Missy Elliott. What I love about this 3.0 version is, that it is a surprisingly sort of slowed and throwed version of “Ladies Night” with lyrical aassaults coming from all four emcees. Also, this song not only celebrates International Women’s Month but celebrates the female hip hop shoulders from which these ladies now PROUDLY stand upon. So much respect is woven throughout the track as shown on Haviah Mighty’s verse when she shouts out all the great female emcees. And shout out to Kool and The Gang who blessed us with the original and now timeless track in the first place. The Sorority really makes the original “Ladies Night” come full circle. Okay, drop that guitar bass, Robert “Kool” Bell… Y’all enjoy!
Good Vibes: “Higher” (Video) by Nefertiitii | @Neffyraps
Baltimore’s Nefertiitii recently released visuals for her lyrically satisfying and adrenaline pumping single “Higher”. Her flows are the truth and no she doesn’t have that “new Missy Elliott car smell”. Been. In. The. Rap. Game. Remember that and enjoy!
