Welcome to TWIB’s Weekly Top 10 Videos. This is a segment where we will be looking at some exceptional visuals from various acts from around the globe. The music video format has been around for decades and through the 90s and 2000s, it has taken flight from multi-million budget music videos, to mid to low-budget videos with exceptional features. In this section, we will not discriminate but rather highlight some of the 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.

Common, Pete Rock – “Dreamin’ “

“Dreamin'” by two hip-hop legends Common, and Pete Rock gets the visual treatment and it’s one for the books. The soulful reflective piece that looks at numerous events witnessed by Common is bolstered by an equally vivid and engaging visual that captures the duo in rare form and gives audiences a glimpse into their journey as beloved icons who are still here keeping the culture alive.

Qung Xav – “Vegan Recommendations”

Multi-talented artist Qung Xav enters our video playlist with “Vegan Recommendations”, a heartfelt but bravado-laden showcase of his lyrical style. Backed by a soulful and sombre backdrop, Qung Xav candidly shares his thoughts on several issues plaguing him and he does so in a casual and somewhat nonchalant manner. The visual follows him and his girl as they shop for essentials and later end up at a bar basking in each other’s company.

Stoic x LIFEOFTHOM – “BY MY SIDE”

Producer Stoic and rapper  LIFEOFTHOM share their new collaboration “BY MY SIDE”, a soulful track comprising soothing melodic runs and head-nodding drums. Here, LIFEOFTHOM proceeds to drop hard-hitting, unapologetic bars ripe with off-kilter rhyme schemes. The visual employs performance shots and split screens to capture the rapper in his element.

“BY MY SIDE” is the follow-up to Stoic and LIFEOFTHOM’s collaborative project COCOTASO.

Jords – “Marley Flow”.

Multi-faceted singer/rapper/songwriter Jords comes through with “Marley Flow”, a heartfelt and reflective tune that explores his life, the ups and downs and the never-ending hurdles he had to overcome. The visual style uses performance shots of Jord in different exotic spots that span continents.

Cuzzo – “PHOTO FINISH”

Edmonton, Alberta, Canada-based rapper/producer Cuzzo delivers the visual for his song “PHOTO FINISH”.

The visual is performance-based and sees Cuzzo doing his thing in the studio.
