Koncept has today premiered his new video titled 'Leather', from his latest EP 'Lucy'. Keeping that and those we hold the dearest gets a soundtrack from an artist that knows what it means to be rich. Not monetarily, mind you, but in ways most people cannot fathom. With a reeling of feeling and a penchant for personal, Koncept sheds light on what it truly means to be humane to one's self. To hold dear what really gives back and hold tight what should never be let go.

This is music meant for summer.

Ashton Nyte has released his new video for the track titled 'Shadow Call', from their latest album 'This Alchemy'.

The Greeners have premiered their new video for the track titled 'Take Me Home'. Set in the mind of a subtle musical genius, we get a glimpse of what possibly became of the girl from Ipanema (the real one, Heloísa Pinheiro, became a successful businessperson), but I also like to think that she found her way home. Found her roots. This is what I get from 'Take Me Home'. I get the full circle. The completion and restart. The full circle.

First Look: Julian Rose – How Deep
Julian Rose has today released his new video titled 'How Deep'. Julian is one of those artists that I like so much because he has his own style. That smooth mix of suave and swagger.
