music videos of the day: Sunday - Wednesday

I loved NXNE but it kinda killed me, but like a zombie I've died and come back more vicious then ever. Below you'll find the music videos of the day that I refuse to miss. Enjoy! 

 

Sunday June 16th : "Stand Up" by Ludacris ft. Shawnna

Because Sunday night Luda closed up NXNE with a bang. It was mad fun to hear these tracks live. Ps. See if you can spot the Kanye West cameo. Pps. I also interviewed Luda on Sunday and it was jokes. We talked about hashtags. Will post the video once it's up. 

 

Monday June 17th: "My Definition Of A Boombastic Jazz Style" by Dream Warriors

 

A classic chill jam from the Toronto based duo, to match my Toronto chill Monday full of Trinity Bellwoods + BBQ. Woke up with it suck in my head and it just fit so nicely.

 

Tuesday June 18th: "Fromdatomb$" by Joey Bada$$ ft. Chuck Strangers 

Spent the day at a photo shoot and we had this blasting in the studio. Still so hyped off of his Sunday night YDS show. Love the 1999 mixtape too much. 

 

Wednesday June 19th:  "Hood Party" by Fat Tony ft. Kool A.D. & Despot (Produced by Tom Cruz) 

Funny video and rad dudes. Was happy to play tour guide for Tony and Tom this weekend after vibing with them on a boat. Watch out for that interview too. 

music video of the day: "Diane Young" by Vampire Weekend

I think I really like Vampire Weekend again? Not that I ever hated them. We just had a bit of a break like Ross and Rachel. Now I'm starting to fall back in love. Now I'm seeing what I missed. Now I understand why everyone's been telling me to get into Modern Vampires Of The City. I get it! It's catchy! Now moving on to this video...

hipster last supper? SO MANY CAMEOS YO! Here's a little list: Santigold, Sky Ferreira (who couldn't look more annoyed), both members of Chromeo, Dirty Projector Dave Longstreth, Walkmen frontman Hamilton Leithauser and Despot. Did I miss anyone? So many people. So much saxophone smoke. Very dope. Welcome back Vampire Weekend. Welcome back.
