[Video] Nick Astro: SUPER 16 Listening Party

Nick Astro is no stranger to Ruby Hornet, especially in recent memory as his last single, "I'm Broke," was featured earlier this week. With the summer fast approaching and the hype continuing to build for his highly-anticipated album, SUPER16, it was only a matter of time before the wheels began rolling towards a set release date. Yesterday, Nick Astro and I decided to face the 80-degree weather to help promote and share details for the official SUPER16 listening party.

Check below for all of the pertinent information.

Nick Astro:

"I and my camera buddy Geoff ran around Chicago promoting my SUPER16 listening event. With having a project themed in filmmaking, I figured it was only necessary to play around with some images crashed against me promoting the project to fans and random strangers in the SouthLoop of Chicago."

Michael Anthony of ThemPEOPLE has recently been working on his latest project, with producer Ikaz. "This piece is a Visual introduction to -Noir- A collaboration Project from Michael Anthony (THEMpeople) and French Producer IKAZ. Noir is a 6 song EP centered around capturing the essence of this generations pro active rebellion. This video is a symbolism piece that represents the reclaiming of culture through Art and Activism.

The intent of the project is to promote the idea of questioning ourselves… Asking where does our generation (Generation Y) stand given the current state of the world??…."

Kendrick Lamar continues his takeover across the pond in the second episode of his World Tour Vlog as he hits London to perform in front of a sold-out crowd. The black-and-white visuals are very crisp and they add a cinematic feel to K. Dot's latest adventures in Europe.

[Video] The Boy Illinois: "Merci, Merci"

The Boy Illinois' "Merci, Merci" is one of my favorite cuts from his latest project The Memoirs Of Gilbert Gaston. Illi unveiled the fresh new video for the track today and it certainly matches the quality of the record with some great shots and very good editing. I feel people don't catch all the gems the emcee spits in this track and highly recommend you check-out the breakdown here.
