[Video] Jhene Aiko: "Bed Peace" (feat. Childish Gambino)
Jhene Aiko's "Bed Peace" was received with overwhelming positive feed-back from critics and fans alike back when the song dropped a few weeks back. Now, Jhene is here alongside Childish Gambino once again for the official visual treatment to the latest single off the Sail Out EP. Influenced by John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s “Bed-Ins for Peace” protest in the late 60's, this video is certainly something different from your run-of-the-mill execution.

Monster Mike: "HEY" (feat. ProbCause)
Lately, Monster Mike has preferred dark-sounding instrumentals to rap over. Nonetheless, in this brand new collaborative cut with ProbCause, the beat is joyful with an up-beat tempo that cements Mike's ability to expand his musical portfolio into wider and more diverse sounds. Both emcees come correct and spit straight fire for almost two minutes straight, while complementing each other's style by bringing their own unique approach.
