MOGZ - Diamond$ (Music Video)

September 07, 2016 by N3 On The Track in Music Videos

MOGZ is a Bangladeshi/American artist, record producer & director from the Rampart District, Los Angeles. He’s has been providing a stunning look at the true art within Los Angeles’s urban streets through his artistic abilities since the age of 12, fusing his unique background & culture into his music coming of age in both Bangladesh and Los Angeles.

The video was directed by MOGZ & Produced by As if, Barry & Naif, 3 young producers from Los Angeles. The video was shot in lafayette park in the heart of the rampart district & was also shot in downtown LA. I shot the video spontaneously, We recorded the song the night before, the next day I grabbed a couple of my friends & shot the whole video, the next day after that I edited the whole thing & it was complete. I take pride in being control of my vision, from producing a record to directing the visuals for it. I think it’s one of the reasons I can really be successful.

I really wanted to describe what was happening in my life at the time. I have been working really hard, So the song “DIAMONDS” is just me describing how a Diamond is created through time. Metaphorically speaking through me “Grinding” which I repeat on the hook means working hard, the song is designed for the listener to be inspired to go out & get what they are striving for.

Nefew - Brand New Summer (Music Video)

September 02, 2016 by N3 On The Track in Music Videos

Hey guys, what's up! I hope your week’s goin’ smooth. I got a real sharp video that I’m pleased to share with you today from the American-Swiss Hip-Hop duo, Nefew, who recently dropped their EP, Slides towards the end of June.

The video’s for their song “Brand New Summer,” which is a last hurrah for summer ’16 as we cling onto the final days of August—here’s the YouTube link to check it out: https://youtu.be/C70iN77eRxE

The group is one of the more acclaimed Swiss-based Hip-Hop groups, and have built a strong following throughout much of Europe (click here to read their Wiki page for more details ). And the audio for the track's been performing really well too via SoundCloud, with over 31k spins to date . 

As always, grateful for your consideration on this one, and I look forward to your feedback! I hope you guys like the track/video, talk soon! -Matt

American-Swiss Hip-Hop duo Nefew continue to bring the good vibes and embrace the warm weather with their slick new video for “Brand New Summer,” the jazzy and upbeat single from their recently released EP, Slides.

It may be true that the season may be on its way out here in the States, but that doesn’t mean we and Nefew can’t enjoy one last hurrah. And for one half of the duo, Polemikk, that includes doing exactly what he wants because, hey, it’s a “Brand New Summer.” That includes chilling with the girl of his dreams, stunting with his boys in the streets, and just enjoying the sunny weather while it lasts.

The self directed visuals are both colorful and high-energy, and seamlessly match the track. It’s really the foolproof complement to Nefew’s music as a whole, because the duo has become well-known over the last ten or so years for their soulful, optimistic take on innovative Hip-Hop. And if this happens to be your first time experiencing their music, you’ll certainly be searching for more once the visuals fade. “Brand New Summer” is truly a final shot of Hip-Hop sunshine as we wait for fall to creep in.

Check out the visuals for “Brand New Summer” and go support their latest project, the Slides EP, which is now available via On Our Feet Ent. through iTunes and all major digital retailers and streaming platforms.

Lanré - Alive Again (Music Video)

September 02, 2016 by N3 On The Track in Music Videos

"Alive Again" is an open letter to the father that Lanré never met. It's emotional, direct, and most can relate because at some point we have all held resentment or felt pain from circumstances outside of our control.

Rei - The Chief's Speech (Reverse Video)

August 29, 2016 by N3 On The Track in Music Videos

New Zealand Hip Hop artist Rei is excited to bring to you his new single and accompanying music video, The Chief’s Speech. Rei’s 2nd NZ on Air funded single takes aim at ‘they’. ‘They is anyone who doubts you, who looks down on you for standing up and trying to make something of yourself. This song is all about having that chief mentality to overcome that kind of negativity.’ The fire and passion within this song is portrayed through the haka sample (also written by Rei) that plays throughout. This earth-trembling chant mixed with hard-hitting Hip Hop production and Rei’s melodic, confrontational vocals creates something never before heard in Hip Hop. The music video, shot entirely in reverse was a challenging project in which Rei had to learn all of his lyrics back to front. ‘It was like learning Russian’ says Rei. The Chief’s Speech is the second single from Rei’s debut studio album A Place To Stand due for release November 2016.
