Fresh off opening for Keyshia Cole and Chrisette Michele on the “Woman to Woman” tour, Mateo debuts the video for his new single “How Good Is Your Love.”
While working a mundane office job, the Cincinnati singer can’t stop thinking about his co-worker. He daydreams about making love to her, but snaps back to reality when his boss, played by producer Kerry “Krucial” Brothers, tells him to get back to work.
Mateo is working with Krucial on his upcoming debut, due on Interscope Records.
Wiz Khalifa is living the good life. The Taylor Gang rapper shows off the fruits of his success in the flashy video for “Paperbond,” a cut off his album O.N.I.F.C. He flies in a helicopter over the city, cops a vintage car, and pulls out a bag full of cash at the bank. Get a glimpse into his lavish lifestyle.
Chris Brown steps behind the camera once more, directing the video for “REDD,” the debut single from his group U.G.L.Y. (Underneath Greatness Lies You). The trio, comprised of Mijo, Braxton, and former Miss Teen USA Stormi Henley, is signed to Chris’ CBE label.
The gory visuals were filmed on an L.A. soundstage last fall. A nearly-naked Stormi is strapped to a gurney and bloods soaks the white walls in the scary scenes straight out of a horror flick.
“We’re a melting pot of music,” guitarist Braxton told E! Online. “It’s a cross section of R&B, reggae, punk, electronic music, and all of our other influences. The goal is to reach as many people as possible. We’re pushing boundaries and incorporating so many styles into what we do.”
The Lonely Island takes control of your mind—and the dance floor—in the bizarre and hilarious video for “Go Kindergarten.” Diddy brings Paul Rudd to the club where the comedic rap trio and pop star Robyn command clubgoers to do whatever they say, including eating garbage, making your butt flat, and umm, whipping your dick out (ladies, too). Puff plays it cool, drawing a nude portrait, eating a banana, and teaching math to a kindergartener.
The Wack Album is out today featuring Solange, Kendrick Lamar, Justin Timberlake, Lady Gaga, T-Pain, and more.
Skylar Grey shows her dark side once again in the video for “Wear Me Out,” which serves as a prequel to “Final Warning.” The 27-year-old singer heads to the woods with her boyfriend, played by actor Noah Segan, who appeared in the videos for “C’mon Let Me Ride” and “Warning.”
As the campfire roars, Skylar plays the piano and makes love to her man, but mystery and mischief lies in her eyes.
Just yesterday, she released the tracklisting for her debut Don’t Look Down. Due July 9, the project features Eminem, Angel Haze, Big Sean, and Travis Barker.
Mindless Behavior shows a more mature side in the video for “Used to Be,” the latest single off their album All Around the World. Prodigy, Princeton, Ray Ray, and Roc Royal reminisce on past relationships in the Phil the God-directed clip, which was shot on the beach and at a multi-million-dollar mansion in Beverly Hills, where Beyoncé and Jay-Z once lived.
“I think this is one of the most eclectic videos we’ve done so far,” Princeton told Rap-Up TV, while Ray Ray added, “It feels good to actually show the fans the real us, the real age, and how we’re maturing over time.”
They debuted some slick new moves on the rooftop of the multi-level crib. “The choreography is very Mindless mixed with Jodeci mixed with New Edition,” said Princeton. “You’re definitely gonna see our grown man side here.”
The R&B sensations will kick off their “All Around the World” tour on July 3. You can also catch them on the big screen in the upcoming baseball-themed movie Bad Behavior co-starring Mike Epps.
Ne-Yo, Tyga, and Wiz Khalifa work hard and play hard in the celebratory video for DJ Felli Fel’s single “Reason to Hate.” The successful crew hits the studio (check out Ne-Yo’s Rihanna sweatshirt) and takes over Supperclub in L.A., popping bottles, smoking (in Wiz’ case), and turning up as the Power 106 DJ works the turntables. Not even a hater can kill this vibe.
The red-haired rapper rides out in a Ferrari and bounces in a white Jeep with her girlfriends in the fun, summertime visuals. She also takes it to the parking lot, twerking in front of a Bimmer and Benz.
Watch Brianna rattle the trunks with her booming anthem.
