[Video] Iamsu!: "Father God"
Iamsu! is a cat from Cali who has become a favorite of many critics and fans alike in the past year. He recently linked up with director HBKGADGET once again for another dope visual off his KILT 2 mixtape for "Father God". Rolling Stone was so impressed with the artist and the video that they actually premiered the visual on their site. Throughout the video the emcee reflects on the success and new perspective on fame now that his profile has risen tremendously.

[Video] PIVOT Gang: "Daddy's Home"

[Video] Justin Timberlake: "Tunnel Vision"
Warning: Not Suitable For Viewing At Work!
Mr. Timberlake is definitely bringing sexy back - along with a lot of nipples. In the third visual of off the impressive project, The 20/20 Experience, JT keeps a close watch on his woman accompanied by executive producer and longtime collaborator, Timbaland's beat-boxing mouth.
"Tunnel Vision" showcases Timberlake floating through some smooth choreography and although it depicts more mature material than his typical music video - it is done tastefully with near perfect [nude] dancers set on dark backdrops. And sometimes his face is projected on their chests - so there's that. But all while the visually is enthralling, my mind can't help but wonder that this video might have been done before ...ahem, Robin Thicke.
With The 20/20 Experience still at the top of the charts and his "Legends of Summer" tour with the ever elusive Jay-Z about to commence - can JT's 2013 reign be stopped? Peep "Tunnel Vision" below while you ponder that.

[Video] JJ DOOM: "Bookhead"
The latest video for the Jneiro Jarel and MF DOOM collaboration, JJ DOOM, has just released. Following the camera trickery in the previous video, "Guv'nor," "Bookhead" finds the supervillain donning a convenient store security mirror while he peers through a library, linking the video to the "Bookhead" title. The camera angle alternates between a normal wide-angle lens to a first-person convex angle to simulate the mirror mask, which was an interesting touch. It's not as compelling as the "Guv'nor" effects, but it's good to see director Steve Powers experimenting with his camera.

[Video] Typical Cats: "Bitter Cold"
I woke up to a nice surprise as a brand new video by Typical Cats found its way into my inbox earlier this the morning. Director JAM ONE brought TC's "Bitter Cold" to life with a dope visual, which perfectly encompasses the emotions transmitted by Qwel.
