This week has seen two blindingly colorful DMV rap videos drop. Commonwealth colorways aside, seeing the city so artfully shot in a Vimeo frame is always a good look. Above is the J-Scrilla laced posse cut “No Love,” from his Culture of Honor compilation. Raps provided by K Beta, X.O., Oddisee, Ra The Mc, Judah, T.E.F.L.O.N. & Wordsmith. After the jump is the Tabi Bonney directed clip for Phil Ade’s “Hollywood” off Phil’s Starting On JV mixtape. Read More “DMV Rap Attack: Video Edition” »
