Staten Island, NY R&B group The Force M.D.'s present the music video for "Fly With You". Entering the ranks of all-time R&B legends with their '80s singles "Tender Love" (Youtube) and "Love Is A House" (Youtube), The Force M.D.'s played a crucial role in the cross-pollination of hip-hop and R&B. Written and produced by Robert Schwartz and Eric Cui and co-produced by 2x Grammy-winning producer Carvin Haggins, Kevin Crump, and Force M.D.'s, "Fly With You" was inspired by the passing of group members TC, Trisco, and Mercury, sung from the perspective of the deceased telling their loved ones to hold on. Filmed in the Poconos, the video was directed by multi-award winning director Robert Schwartz, and features M.D.'s member Stevie’s D’s family, actor Gavin Furbert, and child actress Madison Schwartz. The Force M.D.'s last album was 2000's The Reunion. "Fly With You" is out now on Force M.D.'s Music/WHOMAG/Sony Orchard.

Alternative hip-hop artistic couple T H R O N E present the music video for their new single "Orochimaru", produced by Jules Soledad. Currently residing in the Sandia Mountains of New Mexico, T H R O N E is the union of Charlotte native and globetrotter Hayatheus (hi-ah-theus), and YVHIKV (yuh-hey-guh), who hails from Mvskoke (Creek) Nation in Oklahoma. "This is the most ‘us’ song we’ve made so far," Hayatheus says of the track, their first release as a duo. "Multi-genre, no hook, complex meaning – but still a vibe. We made this song at 3:00 am, we heard the beat and immediately started recording. Doing each other’s doubles and adlibs, a mix of written and freestyled lyrics, this is skilled free form delivery, this is a jazz approach to hip-hop, this is a taste of what T H R O N E is bringing to the game."

California producer Sir Veterano presents the music video for "Cocaine Rap" featuring California emcee Murs. The Marmo Films-directed clip is the newest visual from The Gathering, Sir Veterano's new album also featuring MC Eiht, Planet Asia and Mitchy Slick on first single "Reputable" (watch the music video) as well as appearances from Bishop Lamont, Casual, Ras Kass, Guilty Simpson, Phat Kat, Fashawn, K-Bizz, 4TWO7, M.E.D., Skillz and Supastition. Growing up outside of San Francisco, Veterano worked with Ras Kass, Kool G Rap, Mad Skillz, Planet Asia and Slaughtahouse through the mid-2000s and early 2010s, releasing the Latest and Greatest Vol.1 mixtape, a doo-wop themed instrumental album in partnership with Dart Adam's Producers I Know brand, and a DJ series of West Coast funk with 2DopeBoyz.com, before putting his career on hold in order to focus on his personal life. In late 2018, Sir Veterano expressed interest in rejoining the music business to his music manager, Walt Liquor - aka 4Two7 - and Kwa Nguyen, owner of Fresh Yard Clothing and Fresh Yard Records. Murs has blazed trails on the independent underground hiphop scene since his days as a member of California collective Living Legends, then as a soloist, with collaborations featuring 9th Wonder, El-P and more. "Many of the great rappers have done and/or sold cocaine," Murs says. "Hip hop culture is all about expression and freedom. So if you've walked the walk, by all means talk the talk. This song is speaking to those fabricating a criminal past for clout. When I got the beat for Sir Veterano. I felt it was the perfect canvas on which it paint this message." The Gathering is out now on Fresh Yard Records.

Brooklyn rapper Ace Burns present the music video for "Black Berry Whine", Ace's self-produced "ode to my Beautiful Black Queens" featuring P5yckonomixxx. The track appears on Half-Caste: The EP (Spotify), which also features guest appearances from old school heavyweights the World's Famous Supreme Team as well as D.A.M.Y., YokeeGilla, Femi Nuga, Muyiwa Frank, Brain Rapper, Cassius King, Iam_danger and Bligen. Drawn to activism in the wake of George Floyd's death, Ace gained notoriety via a Fox News interview (article) which led to a terrorism charge, which he is currently fighting in court. "My father's origin is Nigerian from Calabar," Ace explains. "My grandfather is chief of the Esuk Atu people in Cross River, an Efik tribe. By contrast, my mother is African-American and I was born in Brooklyn. Not being considered full Nigerian in Nigeria, even though I'm a prince, and not being considered an American in America, even though my family goes back five generations, is why I call my first album Half-Caste." Half-Caste is out now on Koinda Records.
