Sene sent over an unreleased track that was meant for Reality Bites, but didn't make the cut. Apparently Sene gave up smoking for a little bit, and this was a sober-recording. The track is produced by Food For Thought and can be found below.

XV: "Nevermind" Live At Michigan State
The Spartans welcomed XV to East Lansing recently, and by the looks of this very well done Pure Optics video, they gave him a warm embrace. The kid from Kansas performs his introvert-anthem, "Nevermind", in the video below. I think this is a really dope song. The concept is tight, and I'm sure it's something many of XV's core audience can relate to, while having a wide appeal. This is also a really well-done concert video, so props on that. See it below.

Young Jeezy: "Hood Politics II" Video
I thought Young Jeezy was The Game at first... Anyway, I'd say I respect Jeezy, can listen to some music, not a big big fan but I think he's solid. I am a fan of Decatur Dan though, who's videos continue to elevate. He's behind the lens of this mansion centered pool party themed flick for Jeezy's "Hood Politics". The video matches the vibe of the song and is crisp and clean. For those of you who are Jeezy fans, his new project drops on Tuesday.
