My Music Videos With Special Effects YouTube playlist is up to 77 videos... #YouTubeNchill
1. A Tribe Called Quest - "We The People" 2016 This album was released at a time when everyone needed the joy of a new favorite album, bless you Tribe and thank you to Phife Dawg for leaving us with so much great music. Here's hoping there's a tour.
2. Sims - "Brutal Dance" 2016 Sims is currently leaving a trail of smitten and devoted fans across the U.S. while on tour with P.O.S., Dwynell Roland, and DJ Fundo. I was blessed to see his performance at The Crocodile recently and was overwhelmed once again by the emotion and effort he puts into his art.
3. Old Grape God - "Do 4 U" 2016 PORTLAND MUSIC Grape God was one of the first Portland musicians I met and I've been seeing all 4's ever since. To see Grape God embrace his weirdness live is to love him and that's pretty much what life is all about.

4. The Seshen - "Flames + Figures" 2016 This Bay Area group is headed out on tour in the spring and will be the closest to Seattle when they play the Treefort Fest in Boise, ID on March 22-26. Treefort seems to be unaffiliated with the corporate music slaughter system so I'd love to attend.
5. Anderson .Paak - "The Season / Carry Me / The Waters" 2016 "The Waters" is one of those songs that makes you bite your knuckles with a beat nasty face...I can't be the only one.
6. Sevdaliza - "Marilyn Monroe" 2016 I would have loved to be a fly on the wall when Hirad Sab and Sevdaliza discussed their ideas for this video; it's beautiful.
7. Daniel Haaksman "Akabongi" ft. Spoek Mathambo 2016 Daniel Haaksman is a DJ (etc.) from Berlin who is known for "his own productions and releases, numerous remixes and globally party-proven DJ sets, Daniel Haaksman is considered one of the leaders of the worldwide tropical club sound." Spoek Mathambo released two albums with Sub Pop circa 2011-2012. More about his life's journey can be found on his artist page on the Sub Pop website.
8. Luna God feat. Rell + Astro King Phoenix - "LGEP pt. 2" 2016 SEATTLE MUSIC Luna God is quickly becoming one of Seattle's most active and sought-after producers. Follow him on Twitter or like his Facebook page to keep up.
9. Joyce Wrice & Kay Franklin - "Rocket Science" 2016 You really can't get much smoother than this. I'd love to see a show with Joyce Wrice, Mndsgn, and Swarvy in a room with purple lights, couches, and art.
10. Gabriel Garzón-Montano - "Everything Is Everything" 2014 Gabriel recently became part of the Stones Throw family; it's a perfect fit.
11. Brakebill - "Rochester Rut" 2017 SEATTLE MUSIC This is the first visual release from Brakebill's Hiding Places album which he released last June. The lightbulbs in this video really do it for me.

Ten Artsy Weirdos You Should Know
All 10 artists ready to #YouTubeNchill in playlist form.
1. Blossom - "Black Magic Woman" 2016 (Prod. by Fountaine) Another gem from Portland's EYRST crew; the label founded by NBA player and musician, Martell Webster. I love that they make videos like "Signing-Blossom" to help us get to know what they're all about. Blossom and the many other ladies that are coming out of their shells show more originality and innovation than most of the males that are dominating the industry (in their minds anyway).
2. SassyBlack - "New Boo" 2016 SEATTLE MUSIC SassyBlack is one of my favorite people to follow on ALL social media because she has such a positive outlook on life AND she meets all kinds of interesting people. Formerly of THEESatisfaction, she's been efficiently grinding as a solo artist and even appeared on HBO's Vinyl as one of the Queens of R+B, Ruth Brown.
3. Lizzo - "Good As Hell" 2016 This is an awesome song with great visuals and a damn good message for EVERYONE; Lizzo's doing everything right (further proof in this NPR interview). The Minneapolis artist released her "Coconut Oil" EP on her new label, Atlantic Records, last October and is currently taking the show on the road (see you at The Crocodile on January 28).
4. Kari Faux - "Fantasy" 2016 This video gets a Lizzy Award (impetus of yet another idea) for Most Creative Music Video. I love how the visuals perfectly complement the song and show you what is likely a very raw look into the artist's soul. Kari Faux released her debut mixtape, Laugh Now, Die Later, in 2014 and moved from her hometown of Little Rock, AR to LA soon after. The release caught the attention of Pitchfork, and Childish Gambino which helped launch her into a world with stellar music video budgets.
5. Joyce Wrice - "Do You Love Me?" 2016 (Prod. by Mndsgn) Joyce Wrice and Stone Throw's Mndsgn know the secret formula to authentically creating the eighties vibe. I learned the most about the artist from this LA Weekly article and will happily follow her on all her social media sites to see when I'll be able to see her live for the first time.
6. The Last Artful, Dodgr - "Squadron" 2016 PORTLAND MUSIC The Last Artful, Dodgr has been grinding hard enough to appear on Sway's Universe. Thanks to the help of Portland's EYRST crew and many years of steady grind, @TheLastArtful has captured the attention of those who can help multiply YouTube views and beyond.
7. DoNormaal - "Dime" 2016 (Prod. by Brakebill) SEATTLE MUSIC The rise of DoNormaal is a beautiful thing to witness and Seattle has been infinitely blessed by her presence. Those who've met Christy are instantly captivated by her spirit and become devoted fans from that moment on. Visuals for her work are coming our way at a steadier pace as she gears up to show us how far ahead of the game she truly is. At this pace, it's inevitable that DoNormaal will continue to be a driving force for positive change in this universe.

8. Guayaba - "Black Trash/White House" 2016 SEATTLE MUSIC (Prod. by Luna God) Guayaba's Black Trash/White House EP is so rad that I don't even care that there aren't any music videos yet. Shoutout Guayaba for her continued evolution and to Luna God for being one of the most active producers in Seattle. I learned a lot about Guayaba from this writeup from Jetspace Magazine and this animated interview with Seattle Weekly.
9. Sa-Roc - "I Come In Peace" 2016 Sa-Roc is one of the latest additions to the Rhymesayers crew, which is a damn good crew to roll with. She's new to me but has an impressive thirteen albums under her belt already (according to the label's bio). Her recent Metamorpheus EP is her first release with the Rhymesayers team which I hope will get her added to the lineup for Soundset 2017.
10. Erykah Badu Performs For The New York Times + Answers Questions" 2016 The YouTube title needs some work but Badu is so far ahead of the rest of us with her self love, she already has a "gold floss" tooth chain. I felt the need to include her on this list because neither my Dad or my Stepmom have ever heard of her; Badu's music can fill the gaps in your soul so I'd hate for anyone (paying attention or not) to miss out on the healing.
