Welcome to TWIB’s Weekly Top 10 Videos. This is a segment where we look at some exceptional visuals from various acts around the globe. The music video format has been around for decades, 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 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.

Nec Nymbl x Es x DJ K-flip x Surge Cess – “It’s Deadly” (feat. Surge Cess & Dj K-Flip)

“It’s Deadly” is an anthemic collaboration by Mississauga’s ES, teaming up with Toronto/ Greece Record Producer/DJ/Engineer/MC Nec Nymbl and Toronto co-producer (and MC) Surge Cess, alongside Dj K-Flip. The result is a deadly thought-provoking piece that explores the current social-political climate and the journey to self-actualization. The song comes with an AI-assisted visual that captures the sentiments of the track.  “It’s Deadly” is the lead single from ES X NEC NYMBL’S upcoming Full-Length Album.

Coast LoCastro x Mike Martinez x Eff Yoo – “Make Enough”

“Make Enough” is a hard-hitting collaboration from Coast LoCastro, FL-based producer  Mike Martinez and veteran underground emcee Eff Yoo.  The track is a laidback, no-holds-barred affair that showcase raw lyricism from the emcees as they flex their muscles over Mike Martinez’s menacing soundscape.  The track is taken from Coast LoCastro and Mike Martinez’s collaborative EP Coast LoCastro & Mike Martinez Volume 1.

Billy Ray -“B.O.M.B”

Lompoc California-based Billy Ray enters our playlist with “B.O.M.B,” a bouncy street banger that sees the rapper bringing us to his stomping grounds.

Manny Baby – “Tortilla” (feat. Young Tune)

Milwaukee, Wisconsin-based Manny Baby and Young Tune share the visuals for the song “Tortilla.” The street banger is bolstered by thick 808-driven grooves and moody textures while the rappers deliver bravado bars from start to finish. The visuals are shot on location with both Manny Baby and Young Tune doing what they know best.

M Huncho – “Tuff Right”.

Masked UK rapper M Huncho returns with the visuals for his song “Tuff Right” which is the last single from his forthcoming mixtape U2OPIA. The track is an atmospheric trap banger underpinned by M Huncho’s airy mumble style melodic flow and commanding vocal tone. The visuals use a mix of performance shots and motif-driven set pieces that tap into the rapper’s off-kilter style.

Eskimo Supreme – “Is Your Brother?”.

Eskimo Supreme (former Versatile member) drops the visuals for his song “Is Your Brother?” a playful look at alcohol dependency and the craziness that comes with it.  The track is punctuated by a punchy four-to-the-floor drum groove, plucky synths and thick basslines underpinned by Eskimo Supreme’s energetic flow and engaging storytelling that dives into the delicate issue with a tongue-in-cheek approach. The accompanying visuals follow a man who goes out for a wild night out even after promising his girl that he will take things easy but the devil on his shoulder had more influence than the angel. “Is Your Brother?” is the first single since Eskimo’s exit from award-winning Irish rap crew, Versatile
