[Video] Jhene Aiko: "The Worst"
Jhene Aiko has finally made her formal musical debut with her new EP, Sail Out, along with a slew of visual accompaniments. The newest, "The Worst," centers around a murder that she may or may not have committed in her home. The Danny Williams directed visual shows a more sinister side of the beautiful, stoner, R&B singer as she sips on red vino and preps for her arrest. Whether or not she commits the crime remains a mystery but the video manages to capture the struggle of love that the track embodies. Check out the video below and be sure to purchase Jhene Aiko's new EP, Sail Out, available on iTunes today.

Bruno Mars: "Gorilla (G-Mix)" (feat. Pharrell & R. Kelly)
Look at God! Although unexpected, I don't think anyone is mad at this G-Mix of Bruno Mars' smash "Gorilla" off of his sophomore album, Unorthodox Jukebox featuring the almighty R. Kelly and Pharrell. On the remix, Kellz delivers a sexciting verse as expected while Mr. Williams heavenly floats all over this bedroom anthem.
This [already] banger just got a tune up - listen to the "Gorilla" the G-Mix below.

[Video] Decoded: Pusha T's "King Push"
G.O.O.D. music artist and your friendly neighborhood pusher, Pusha T, chops it up with Jay Z's Life+Times and decodes his single, "King Push" off of his upcoming release My Name Is My Name. The track was surprisingly one of the last to be recorded for his solo album, Pusha tells us, and is a solid example of the real hip-hop shit he is bringing to the rap table this year. The Virginia native and 1/2 of Clipse breaks down his bars in this episode of Decoded and gives us some insight into the lyrical content behind the powerful track.
MNIMN drops this upcoming Tuesday, October 8th, but you can stream below right now via Myspace.

[Video] Solange: "Lovers In The Parking Lot"
Check out Beyonce's little sister Solange parade around an empty parking lot - where there is no lover in sight by the way - and serenade us in her new video for "Lovers In The Parking Lot" off of her 2012 EP, True. As strange as the video is, her EP isn't so make sure you cop that.

Outasight: "Hell Yea"
You may remember his hit single, "Tonight Is The Night" off Nights Like These but the Yonkers native, Outasight, has returned to the scene with a free EP, Stay Gold. The first released track, "Hell Yea" demonstrates The King of Chill's pop, hip-hop influences, and impressive vocal range. Peep the track below.
Outasight's newest EP, Stay Gold, drops this Wednesday, August 7th via iamoutasight.com.
[Video] John Legend: "Made To Love"
G.O.O.D. Music's resident R&B nightingale John Legend has finally returned to the blues side with a sexy track accompanied with an even sexier visual for his lead track, "Made To Love" off of his highly anticipated album, Love In The Future. It's been five years since Mr. Legend's last album, 2008's biggest let down, Evolver, and a lot has shifted in his personal life - AKA he is soon to wed long-time girlfriend, Chrissy Teigen. Perhaps that's why someone else is doing the sexing in the video and not him. I think I can speak for most of the R&B community when I say I am relieved that John has abandoned the electro beats and returned to his home of rhythm and blues that he began building in 2004 with his debut album, Get Lifted. Ironically, like the first album, Love In The Future is also produced entirely by Kanye West - so thank Yeezus for that. Peep the sensual video below. Love In The Future will be released on September 3rd, pre-order it on iTunes here.
