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, and 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.

HoodTrophy Bino – “Runnin Up A Bag”.

Los Angeles-based rapper HoodTrophy Bino unveils the visuals for his song “Runnin Up A Bag” featuring the late Chris King. The track is a cinematic street-savvy piece that sees Bino in his element as he delivers a raw, unapologetic performance alongside the late Chris King in one of his last recordings. The visual is mostly performance based with slow-moving shots and moody cinematic aesthetics.

In tribute to Chris King, 100% of the proceeds from the single and music video will go directly to the Chris King Fund, ensuring his legacy continues to make a difference.

J Cru – “Catalyst”.

J Cru are back in the fray with their first release in the form of the song “Catalyst.” Over a plucky and playful synth-driven backdrop, the duo showcase pure penmanship with this cypher-inspired track. No gimmicky hooks or fancy bridges, just pure verbal onslaught after another. The visual is set in the BET cypher style we all know with a DJ in the corner and both emcees rapping like the rent is due.

Pook Hustle – “Rush”.

Emerging Brooklyn, NY-based rapper Pook Hustle enters our visual playlist with “Rush.” The track is the final single from the rapper’s forthcoming EP Clearing Space which sees him flexing his lyrical biceps over a moody and atmospheric soundscape. His use of different cadences and flows is a testament to his proficiency as a rapper and a student of the game. The visual style is a performance-driven piece that is anchored on Pook Hustle’s commanding presence.

Ebubé – “Lay With Me”

Singer/producer Ebubé enters our visuals with “Lay With Me.” The self-produced track is a mellow seductive piece that taps into the yearning feeling for that special someone. Inspired by nights when one is far away from our loved one, Ebubé crafts the perfect ballad to help ease the spirit. The visual style is mostly performance shots with slow-moving angle shots that capture the singer’s expressive style.

For those who don’t know, he is a founding member of the UK R&B group No Guidnce.
