Ten Music Videos with Swords

I compiled all the Sword Music Videos I've found so far on YouTube playlist for you. #YouTubeNchill

1. Action Bronson feat. Chance The Rapper - "Baby Blue" 2015  Action Bronson is doing everything right; he's made a career out of doing the things he loves the most. Plus, Coming To America remake is killing it.




2. Grimes feat. Blood Diamonds - "Go" 2014  I don't normally think that wearing Adidas sandals is that styley, but, in this video it's perfect.




3. Hail Mary Mallon - "Garfield" 2011  I'm sure we've all had a campfire machete experience, I know I do.




4. Homeboy Sandman - "Refugee" 2014  This knife is swordlike enough for me. This video is a trip, literally.




5. Diamond D feat. Alchemist + Evidence - "Its Magic" 2014  They've found some pretty great stuff while digging in those crates.




6. Mobb Deep - "Peer Pressure" 1993  Crazy that this video was made 22 years ago.



The first time I ever sold merch was for Mobb Deep at The Crocodile on April 22, 2014. Here's 15 seconds of their performance, I love shows where everyone knows the words.

7. The Bar (Prometheus Brown + Bambu) - "Barkada" 2014  These guys will be at The Crocodile on July 21 for the Beatrock Music Five Year Anniversary Left Coast Tour with the whole crew.



Here's the flyer for the show.

8. Ghostface Killah feat. Kandace Springs - "Love Don't Live Here No More" 2015  I love videos with a storyline. Ghostface killed it with this one.




9. Astro King Phoenix - "Yarn" 2015  Video by Malcolm Procter AKA Wolf Delux. These two are some seriously high quality human beings.




10. Quadir Lateef - "The Quickening Arts" 2012  He's aight but I'd love to hear the instrumental.

Ten More Music Videos With Nature Scenes

1. J'Von + Ackryte - "Go" 2013 (SEATTLE MUSIC) J'Von is one of Seattle's greatest assets. He was this good 2 years ago and just keeps getting better. His latest album featuring Blu and Ackryte, Raw Beats, is available to purchase on vinyl on fatbeats.com.




2. Astro King Phoenix - "Earth Sky" 2014 (SEATTLE MUSIC)  Astro King Phoenix is a full time artist and great human being. He is part of the rising wave of Seattle art on its way out into the world. He's made a ton of great videos with Wolf Delux (live painter etc.), who've both performed a few times at The Crocodile Back Bar. Check out this epic flyer for the fifth show I ever booked made by Mad Max Wallace.






3. Benjamin Clementine - "Condolence" 2014  I want to go on this same walk, I'm gonna wear shoes though. I love this song even more because I can't listen to it on Soundcloud or Spotify, the mystery is still there.





4. Silver Jackson - "The Life I Live" 2012  I'm proud to say that my first show booked outside of The Crocodile is Silver Jackson of Homeskillet Fest with Kristi Lane Sinclair, Erik Blood, Tay Sean, and OCnotes on June 21 at Sunset Tavern.




5. Will Butler - "Anna" 2015  It's kinda Thom Yorke-y meets Future Islands.




6. Tinashe - "Bated Breath" 2015  I'm down with Tinashe but without the visuals, this song wouldn't do it for me. The video makes me want to go on more road trips, not like I needed a boost.




7. Manatee Commune - "Lovely" 2013  One of Bellingham's finest, he would pair nicely with James Blake.




8. Dex Amora, Zuke Saga, and J'Von - "Dex Dynamite Saga Pt. 1" 2013 (SEATTLE MUSIC)  I can't say enough good things about these guys. They've played at The Crocodile at least 5 times in the last six months because they make great music and are wonderful to be around.




9. Spooky Black - "DJ Khaled Is My Father" 2014  This kid is 16 years old, I can't wait to see how he progresses.




10. Marz Léon - "WHITELIONZ" 2015  Hodgy Beats (the Odd Future member in the video) don't give a fuck, he'll wear white and lay on the ground and stuff. Maybe he got the idea from SZA, who spread her white sweater on the ground in her video for "Babylon."
