01. Princess Nokia releases album '1992 Deluxe'

 

Princess Nokia’s highly anticipated ‘1992 Deluxe’ is finally here. It’s an extension of her 2016 mixtape 1992 which features eight new tracks. Princess Nokia also dropped a beautiful video for one of the album’s tracks ‘Flava’. Talking about the video she said she, “wanted to make a cinematic short film, with a narration that foreshadows the intersectionality of self esteem, self love and cultural approbation of urban beauty in mainstream media, that accurately depicted a portrayal of urban sisterhood through a personal and accurate lens.”

02. Cosmo's Midnight – 'Mind Off' ft Kudu Blue

 

Cosmo’s Midnight dropped this track ‘Mind Off’ featuring Kudu Blue a couple of weeks ago but we’ve only just discovered the video. The clip sees the duo up to some Robin Hood antics as they pilfer a wealthy suburb before being distracted by a surreal twist. We’ll let you witness it for yourself above.

06. Father & Lil Yachty – 'Dreamboat Freestyle'

 

It’s probably time we all admit that Teenage Emotions was kind of underwhelming. But on this freestyle with Father he’s back in fine sailing form. It’s nothing short of classic Yachty fulfilling his potential and giving us hope for future releases. Lil boat is back in safe waters.

08. Sensible J drops video for 'Fire Sign' ft Remi & Sampa The Great

 

Sensible J’s solo work earlier this year caught everyone’s attention—and why wouldn’t it when he’s one of the country’s best hip-hop producers. In ‘Fire Sign’ he teams up with regular partner Remi and recent tour mate Sampa The Great. It’s a feel good clip featuring footage of their recent tour that serves nothing but good vibes.
