Chaz French Feat. Rich The Kid – “Handful” (Video)
Chaz French delivers a new visual for his latest single, “Handful”:
Under the cover of palm trees and Miami sunshine, Chaz raps poolside flanked by gorgeous bikini-clad women intercut alongside colorful kaleidoscopic animation and underscored with Yung Lan’s guitar-driven beat. As Chaz delivers the braggadocious bars on top of a mirrored floor, Rich The Kid makes a cameo of his own before the party moves to the club for the final scenes. The visual harks back to the best and brightest turn-of-the-century summer bangers and stands poised to soundtrack the season.

Simba – ‘Taliben’ (Stream)
Currently-incarcerated DMV artist Simba delivers a new project titled Taliben, which can be streamed in full below.
Nicky Bleu – Testimony (Video)
Maryland artist Nicky Bleu forced me to break my rule of not posting freestyles over popular songs. Although this song is a few months old, Nicky’s version of Kodak’s “Testimony”, shot by Hidden Images DC, shines above. Smooth falsetto singing about Lean plugs overdosing and family tragedy show versatility that you rarely see in a freestyle. I hope to hear more from him soon, ideally with his talented friends like Knuklehead, Yung Wack and Murrrland.
