This one—rapper A$AP Rocky’s ultra-trippy track and music video—is insanely cool.

Honestly, it’s way faster to experience it with your own senses than to have it explained in words.

The more you love music, the more this out-of-bounds playfulness will blow your mind and give you a completely new musical experience.

Craig David is an R&B singer from the UK.

He’s an artist who sings R&B with a style close to rap, and his extremely smooth, comfortable flow is a major part of his appeal.

Among his songs, 7 Days is the one where his flow feels the most pleasant, and it’s also one of his signature tracks.

The enigmatic Emiko Shibamura has released a song! This track is called “AKINDO FIGHTER.” It’s produced lavishly, almost like a Western music video.

2 Chainz – PROUD ft. YG, Offset (Official Music Video)

I think B-boy musicians are surprisingly devoted to their mothers.

In the music video for this song, the mothers of Tauheed Epps (aka 2 Chainz), Keenon Daequan Ray Jackson (aka YG), and Kiari Kendrell Cephus (aka Offset) appear dressed in the same outfits as their sons.

It’s a unique touch, isn’t it?

D’Angelo – Brown Sugar

D’Angelo, known as a pioneer of neo-soul—a genre that blends soul music with funk and hip-hop.

His most active period was from the 1990s to the 2000s, and while he doesn’t have many music videos, each one stands out with stylish composition and lasting impact.

Among them, the one I especially recommend is Brown Sugar.

It’s a simple setup—him singing and playing live while puffing smoke—but the effortlessly cool vibe makes it truly unforgettable.
