While I posted the Jim Jones remix yesterday, I thought about posting the instrumental, but I didn’t have time to search around for it. So here is the official instrumental to Chiddy Bang’s “Opposite of Adults,” produced by Xaphoon Jones.

“Opposite of Adults” Instrumental (prod. Xaphoon Jones)

Ras Kass ft. Dr. Hollywood – Who Popped Ya?

A lot of people believe that summer is over but with the way the heat is going, it’ll be lasting til late October. In the days of bbqs and beautiful women, PHZ-Sicks drops this Best Kept Secret (Wale, Skyzoo) produced opus to summer and love called SumHer Everlasting. This is the first single off of The Laws of PHZ-Sicks, which is due to drop in the later September.

PHZ-Sicks – SumHer Everlasting

don’t have a ton to say this time. Beauty of this video is what it become in contrast to what we set out to do. What was supposed to be a simple picnic vid became a sensual and romantic ode to French New Wave Films. I wanted it pretty, so I shot long lensed, and to give it that easy, nice flow, would give them topics to talk about and just let them interact as I shot. It was almost like I was staging a documentary and then capturing it. Of all our collabs, this may be the one I’m most proud of. I figured out how to rig a new lens system (my own secret) to give it a very cinematic feel. There’s something effortless and earnest about the video and that’s what I love. Even the performance shot was nailed in one take and I have no qualms about it, as it looks damn great.

Big up to The ILLZ. He’s been creating some great work recently. Here he slows down the music a bit, but for more, check out his site here.

Rick Ross – Hard in the Paint

In a coming video for his single “Power” that was created by the artist Marco Brambilla, Mr. West is seen standing imposingly with a heavy chain around his neck. As Mr. West raps the camera slowly zooms out in one continuous, unedited take to reveal him in a classical structure, surrounded by female attendants who are partly or entirely nude; some kneel before him on all fours, others wear devil horns and still others are suspended upside down from the ceiling. The Sword of Damocles hangs precariously over Mr. West’s head, and behind him an unseen executioner is preparing to strike him with a blade. (ArtsBeat was allowed to watch a portion of this video but was not permitted to post it.)

Marco Brambilla continues:

It’s kind of apocalyptic, in a very personal way. It had this very dark, personal conflict within it. Because of his own concept of celebrity and his own notoriety, he’s keenly self-aware of all these things. And it all came out in the music. It’s a very exaggerated hyper-sensational version of what the song is saying. But at the same time. It has this fallibility to it. Because built into the story is that there is an ultimate fallibility, in bringing someone back down to earth at the end of the piece. That kind of contradiction, hopefully, will create the tension within it.”
