The New Hotness YouTube playlist is better than television.
1. Kendrick Lamar - "Humble" 2017 This video has gotten fifty million plus views in eleven days, congratulations King Kendrick! Grey Poupon scene for the win.
2. Princess Nokia - "Mermaid Girl" 2017 Please go see Princess Nokia at The Crocodile on May 11 and tell me all about it. She's killing the game so hard right now.
3. A Tribe Called Quest - "Dis Generation" 2017 Waiting patiently for a "Mobius" video... "Conrad Tokyo" too. A Tribe Called Quest is now part of the Umbrella music video crew; so that's awesome.
4. Run The Jewels - "Legend Has It" 2017 I'd say these two are at the top of their game but I'm sure they'll surprise us with more awesomeness very soon. Watch the Def Jux documentary from 2002 to see what El-P was like fifteen years ago.
5. Brother Ali - "Own Light (What Hearts Are For) 2017 So many feels about this one. I love that he dedicated this to the late, great, Jonathan Moore; his decades of love and endless support for the Seattle (and beyond) Music Community will never be forgotten. I'll be selling merch for Brother Ali on his upcoming tour; I'll see you there.
6. Evidence - "Throw It All Away" 2017 I'm loving the first release from the upcoming Evidence album and I can't wait to hear the rest. I can really relate to all this rain.
7. Oshun - "Sango" 2017 Can't say enough good things about these two. The following is what they said about this song/video on their Facebook page:
Often times us women engage in romantic situations that we know aren't healthy, dreaming that we can be enough to make things better. In our newest release, the official music video for "Sango", we explore the destructive themes we witness so often in modern relationships. We go through a journey toward the most powerful Love, Self-Love, demanding to rise rather than fall 🌻💛🙌🏾
8. NxWorries (Anderson.Paak + Knxwledge) 2017 This video director, Calmatic, is also the genius behind the Karriem Riggins video you'll see below. I've gushed about Anderson.Paak enough in the last few months...
9. Toro Y Moi - "Omaha" 2017 I've added this to the upcoming list of music videos with bathtub scenes; check out part one here (Toro Y Moi is on that one too).
10. Karriem Riggins - "Bahia Dreamin'" 2017 STONES THROW I love the painting on the wall in the dining/drumming room. Can anyone tell me who painted it?
11. Aminé - "REDMERCEDES" 2017 PORTLAND MUSIC This Portland artist got over two million views in four days AND he doesn't suck. #RARE
