H/T goes to WSHH for this one. So, N.O.R.E. is back and hungry for the game, again. Who are we to say “nah” to new N.O.R.E.? Directed by Rich Blanco, the track(s) have that old school grimy-ass NY feel to them. But, instead of just relying on “old feels,” N.O.R.E. updates his style for 2016 […]
Read moreNew Visuals: @itsleemitty – "Bang"
Lee Mitty has a habit (a good one) of dropping music at just the right time. Her visuals to “Bang” are no exception. Mitty told me that this was her first time directing and editing a project, but it’s kind of hard to tell. The visuals are crisp and hammer home the point(s) of crooked […]
Read moreNew (To Me) Music: @itsLovelMusic X @FettyWap – The Move
LoVel is a New York-based R&B artist. About a year ago, he released his Backseat Memories EP to some pretty solid buzz. Since then, he’s been keeping busy, mainly working on songs such as the one we’re featuring today. His newest visuals, “The Move,” feature him and Fetty Wap figuring out motives, intentions, and desires of […]

So, quick show of (digital) hands. How many of you, intrepid readers, are (and I assume this is still a “trendy” thing to say) “caked up?” Ok. Cool Now, how may of you, intrepid readers, are struggling (even if it’s just a little, with that “good ass job”) and are constantly trying to figure out […]
Read moreNew Visuals: @wilesmartyr – "UNIVSERAL/PHILLYSHELLDEFENSE"
*Wiles Martyr returns to SpeedontheBeat.com with this Ronniere Spacely-directed mini-movie. Now, musically, it’s nice. I like the 90s boombap feel to the production and the flows as well. Wiles brings some pretty legit bars. Additionally, both tracks have smoker-friendly vibes, although “PHILLYSHELLDEFENSE” (from *Wiles’ SixBlox project) is a lot darker than “UNIVERSAL.” Visually, I’m a sucker for […]
Read moreNew Visuals: @RichieCap1 feat. @BIGKRIT – "Blessings"
I think it’s safe to say that today is a K.R.I.T. day. After appearing on the remix of Dee-1’s “Against Us,” we’re blessed (pun intended) with another K.R.I.T. collabo. The Cap 1-manned track features Cap and K.R.I.T. waxing over some soulful production about, well, needing religion and blessings in the face of insanity.
