[Video] Lucki Eck$: "Count On Me"
Chicago's own Lucki Eck$ made waves earlier this year with the release of his breakthrough debut project, Alternative Trap. The ambient trap-influenced airiness of the mixtape's overall aesthetic and beats matched Lucki's unique, off-beat, shadowy tone in his rhymes which acted as yet another interesting take on the genre from a Chicago artist. The tape has brought considerable attention to the somewhat mysterious artist, enough that his next project will be one of the most anticipated releases in awhile.
Today, we get the video for Lucki's track "Count On Me", produced by hytman and directed by JKrown, the visual details Lucki and co. wandering and bopping their way down the streets of Wicker Park. Surreal is a word often used to describe the young artist on the rise, a word that aptly describes the accompanying visual element to the track. Check out "Count On Me" below.

[Video] Lucki Eck$: "Love It"
Lucki Eck$ stays winning with yet another great release that will surely have the blogs going bonkers as he unleashes the official video for track number-two off Alternative Trap --which happens to be one of the best projects of 2013--. "Love It" was produced by Plu2o Nash, who really deserves the MVP due to the fact that he also shot and directed the visual. Plu2o did a great job to bring the vibe he envisioned for the record to life, while keeping the Alternative Trap essence intact.

[Video] Lucki Eck$: "Everything Out$ide"
Lucki Eck$ is in a hot-streak right now, this kid is doing all the right moves at the right time and the quality of his music backs-up all the buzz he has attained in less than a month. He's truly taking the game by storm while approaching the genre from a very unique standpoint, Alternative Trap is starting to feel more and more as a real movement and not just something a teenager simply decided to name his mixtape after. Of course, to have a movement, a strong core of people who will invest 100% of their time to see it come to fruition is also needed. For Lucki, the Out$iders Clique is exactly that and he reps it everywhere, especially in his latest video, "Everything Out$ide", which is an ode to the crew.
Elevator did a great job giving the visual a grimmy feel, but keeping their professional look intact and drawing a lot of similarities to Lucki's music. Check out the video below and be sure to wish the emcee a happy birthday tomorrow. The homie is turning 17 in the biggest way possible, congrats!
