New Video: Nipsey Hussle – “Double Up” Feat. Dom Kennedy & Belly [WATCH]

Nipsey Hussle made a lot of noise with his ‘Victory Lap’ album and has followed that with some impressive videos for singles off the LP. The latest to get the video treatment is my favorite song on the album, “Double Up” featuring Dom Kennedy and Belly.

Directed by Sergio, the cinematic 11-minute video takes place in 2007 before all of Nip’s major success. A younger Nip starts the video bagging weed with his aspiring apprentice, which is played by his girl, Lauren London. After a brief run-in with the law, Lauren decides she doesn’t wanna live the street life and links with Nip 10-years-later.

Their next meeting finds Lauren married to a perspective buyer of Nip’s hustle. The pair rekindles shortly after at Nipsey’s pool party, where Dom and Belly appear with a collection of women around them.

New Video: Belly – “What You Want” Feat. The Weeknd [WATCH]

When Belly announced his new single “What You Want” with The Weeknd, you should’ve known a hit was imminent. The track has turned into the most added song on radio across the country and should get bigger with the visuals which dropped today.

Directed by Colin Tiley, the dark, psychedelic video was primarily shot at an operational penitentiary. The brXOthers get things going in a pyramid within the prison grounds before riding out in a red convertible.

“What You Want” is the third single off Belly’s forthcoming  ‘Midnight Zone’ album that will also include “4 Days” featuring YG and “Maintain” featuring Nav. Having heard the album from front-to-back, I can tell you it’s pure fire and blends both Belly’s lyrical and melodic abilities.

New Music: Belly – “4 Days” Feat. YG [LISTEN]

Looking to continue his lyrical prowess from last year’s ‘Mumble Rap’ EP, Belly takes a trip to the West Coast for his new single “4 Days” that features YG and is produced by none other than fellow RocNation signee, DJ Mustard.

Belly uses Mustard’s signature banging production to rap about a woman that he used to want but has changed his stance on, rapping, “Thinking you a bad bitch / Really, you just doing bad, bitch / Fronted on me when I ain’t had shit / Until I came up like a savage.”

YG uses his verse to do the same as he goes off on a female that “fronted” on him rapping, “I tell her she can fuck up my life / Just don’t fuck up my cash flow … You did me wrong when I ain’t had shit / God don’t like ugly, you a bad bitch.”

This single figures to be the first single on Belly’s next project, which Jay-Z might be helping out on after a video and image appeared of them in the studio together.
