[Video] Sir Michael Rocks: "Great" feat Mac Miller and Casey Veggies

Arguably Sir Michael Rocks' Lap of Lux was his strongest release yet as a solo artist. "Great" featuring Casey Veggies & Mac Miller was one of the standout tracks on the project, so it was a nice surprise to see MTVU premiere the official video for the song earlier today. The visual goes along perfectly with the vibe of the joint, as we find the three spitters having fun at a luxurious house party with a pretty good ratio between men and women.

[Video] El-P: "Stay Down" feat Nick Diamonds

El-P RubyHornet

El-P's fourth studio album Cancer For Cure is still being lauded by critics and fans alike, so a visual for "Stay Down" featuring Nick Diamonds --one of the most harsh and unforgiving tracks in the project--was something bound to happen. In the video we see El-P performing for a crowd of America's suburbia, competing against a pop band led by TV on the Radio's Jaleel Bunton (as Nick Diamonds), trying to gain their attention. The end is hilarious with a dark humor perspective, but you must watch it below to know what happens!
