In this section, we will not discriminate but highlight some creative visuals that pop up on our radar.
Again, we promise to bring you the best from high to low budget, to animated to DIY and first and foremost, the most creative visuals we can source.

Miles Jenson – “Country Club”

Singer-songwriter Miles Jenson presents the visual for his new single, “Country Club. ” The insightful and somewhat moody tune centers on the media’s bias toward addiction, depending on the demographic. Over a sublime and solemn backdrop, Miles Jenson pours his heart and shares his frustrations on the hypocrisy, underlining classism and racism that serve as fuel for the system that continues to put its boots on the necks of certain folks in society. The song also tackles personal flaws and imperfections of the artist as he gives audiences a balanced viewpoint. The visual has a DIY-documentary style aesthetic that captures the lives of young individuals. The single is taken from his new EP Sunshine Goldmine—a bold, genre-blurring debut EP, slated for release on June 20th. Produced by Grammy-winner King Garbage (Jon Batiste, The Weeknd, Leon Bridges), the soulfully cinematic three-song collection introduces Jenson as a fearless and uncompromising new voice.

Kingdom Kome – “Alkaline State Of Mind”

Miami-based veteran emcee Kingdom Kome drops visuals for the song “Alkaline State Of Mind.” Bolstered by the gripping and menacing backdrop provided by Onaje Jordan, Kingdom Kome speaks on health in the modern world, where most are addicted to processed foods. Inspired by the teachings of herbalist, Dr. Sebi, who stressed regular consumption of Alkaline in a diet, Kingdom Kome gifts the audience with some gems about changing one’s health regimen by doing the right things. He is joined by NY rapper New York’s Nejma Nefertiti, who adds her 2 cents to the track.  The visuals are engaging and blends performance tracks with special effects that tap into the health theme of the track.

This track appears on the newly released collaborative LP between Kingdom Kome and Producer Onaje Jordan, Alchemy II. Subtitled Ein Sof (a term originating from the ancient Hebrew mystical practice of Kabbalah), the album, as the emcee says, “is a more spiritually focused album. I wanted to touch on a lot more esoteric and occult sciences on this one.” Additional guest features include General Back Pain, Che Uno, Sean Links, Eloh Kush, Daniel Son, Hakim Green, Lyrik’l, G Fam Black, Killy Shoot, XP The Marxman, Ruen and Kenyattah Black.

WhyDee – “Pronto”

WhyDee follows up his successful debut single “Jack In The Box” with “Pronto.” The ProdbyWillzz-produced track is an upbeat, bravado-driven jam brimming with unapologetic and cheeky rhymes plus a catchy hook to seal the deal. The visuals are engaging and shows WhyDee traversing different landscapes with his crew.

Dead Silence – “Forgive Me”.

Emerging rapper/songwriter Dead Silence shares with viewers the visuals for his song “Forgive Me.” The solemn tune is a reflective jam that explores the artist’s past mistakes and his journey to self-fulfilment. The melodic flow takes the cake, and his ability to tap into the vulnerable side makes the track refreshing. The visual employs stylish cut scenes, smooth transitions and performance shots.

JayWood – “UNTITLED (Swirl)”

Singer/songwriter JayWood helps close this week’s playlist with “UNTITLED (Swirl).” The track taps into the spirit of classic neo-soul tracks we all love and showcases his distinct songwriting and eclectic approach to music-making. The Montreal-based artist delivers a solid jam that explores self-discovery and connection far from the artificial ones formed via our mobile devices.  The visuals were directed by JayWood, and Laura-Lynn Petrick and follow the singer through the cold season as he tries to find his footing and break free from the solitude that is slowly engulfing him.
