10 Bicycle Music Videos Part III

The Music Videos With Bicycles playlist is thirty plus videos deep and all gems. I linked to the playlist on Reddit once and people tried to give me all these shitty recommendations for more bike videos but I resisted. These playlists are for me to enjoy and I don't fux with shitty music.



1. Calvin Harris feat. Jessie Reyez - "Hard To Love" 2017  Stoked for Jessie that she made it around those gatekeepers; she's broken into big money collaborations and is still making great music. I've had this on repeat since I first heard it.




2. Deem Spencer - "Tussilago" 2016  This bicycle video was my intro to Deem Spencer. Seems like a simple video concept but the video shoot could have presented some safety challenges if the multi-tasking bicyclist wasn't so talented.



My second Deem Spencer song was "there was plenty time before us," needless to say, I'll be paying more attention from now on. I love strings in Hip Hop.




3. Steve Lacy - "Some" 2016  Steve Lacy, of The Internet hit factory, warns us about the dangers of chickening out when you've reached that Say Anything moment with the visuals for "Some." Say what you've got to say while you still can!



He released this six days ago but I prefer the joint above.




4. Porter Ray - "Past Life" 2017  SEATTLE MUSIC  Porter Ray's last release, Watercolor, was reviewed in Pitchfork; an accomplishment in itself. My favorite thing about Porter remains to be his positive attitude and infectious smile. Love this dude.



Porter Ray released the following collaboration with Stas THEE Boss a few months back.




5. Sa-Roc - "True Mastery" 2014 RHYMESAYERS  I couldn't be more excited to see 20+ more Sa-Roc shows in just a few weeks... life is good. Her latest video, "The Reckoning" appeared on The New Hotness Vol. 9 earlier this month.



Here's another great Sa-Roc jam from her Soundcloud so you can dive into the Queen's work.




6. Cosmo Pyke - "Chronic Sunshine" 2017  This eighteen year old superhero hails from South London, like his fellow crooner King Krule. There is something good in the water there, I drank it and then took a bunch of beautiful photos, shit works. This article by the Guardian is a good intro to all things Cosmo Pyke.




7. FKJ - "Skyline" 2017  Getting up this early/staying up this late to get this light for the video shoot was totally worth it.




8. Humble The Poet - "H.A.I.R." 2017  Humble The Poet is an artist/vlogger/internet entrepreneur type who has all the ladies lipsync the lyrics in this video; always works.



If you wanna hear more, his latest project, Righteous Ratchet, is free to stream on Soundcloud.





9.  Reverie - "Scheming" 2016  Thanks to Google, I just found a great interview with Reverie on a new-to-me French Hip Hop site focused on women artists called MadameRap... enjoy.



Madame Rap puts out mixtapes on Soundcloud...




10. Fatima - "Biggest Joke Of All" 2014  I delivered pizza in Lake Tahoe in the late 90s and it loved every minute of it; I was on Team Subaru so I slayed deliveries all year. Anyway, I fell for her "La Neta" video back in 2014 and have been watching out for her since. We have a special bond now cuz of the whole pizza delivery thing... not really.

The New Hotness Vol. 3

1. Grimes ft. Janelle Monáe - "Venus Fly" 2017  This is one of the best music videos I've ever seen in my whole life. Speechless.





2. Taylar Elizza Beth - "Stop Calling My Phone" (prod. Luis Vela)  SEATTLE MUSIC  A Taylar Elizza Beth performance will literally take your breath away. This woman inspired me to abandon my only posting music video ways because she's that awesome.




3.  J Dilla - Ghetto Wishing "ADBT" 2017  This is part of a documentary of the legacy of Detroit Hip Hop Production. See below for more info.


A/V Installation #2
The Unseen - A Detroit Beat Tape
A Film By Gus Sutherland

The Unseen explores the soul and roots of Detroit Hip Hop Production, mirroring the sketchpad
style format of a beat tape. Loosely acting as a prequel to the L.A. based "All Ears" documentary,
The Unseen provides rare insights into a scene that has remained distant from the public eye
while giving birth to some of the culture's richest and most influential sounds.
The film glimpses the hidden and elusive characteristics inherent in a city often
depicted in a one dimensional light.




4. Air Credits (The Hood Internet + Showyousuck) + Sims - "GEAR SHIFTN" 2017  These are seriously some of the nicest people I've ever had the pleasure of working with. I love the effort that went into this video and can't wait to see what they do next.




5.  Onry Ozzborn - "t h 3 B1RTH of c v p ii d" 2017 SEATTLE MUSIC  Nothing but respect for Onry and his grind lately. #props




6. Big Baby D.R.A.M. - "Cute" 2017  D.R.A.M.'s smile is contagious as f....




7. MonoNeon - "Thoughts In The Morning Time" 2017  Bless you Okay Player for guiding me to Prince's bassist, MonoNeon.




8. Little Dragon - "High" 2017  They must have had a blast making this video and I'm pretty sure that is what life is all about.




9. Brother Ali - "Pen To Paper" 2017  The release of this new Brother Ali album, "All The Beauty In This Whole Life," on May 5 has provided me with the job of my dreams. Stay tuned...




10. Porter Ray - "Watercolor" 2017 SEATTLE MUSIC  Yet another always smiling Seattle artist I had to share even though he hasn't released any music videos for this project yet. This Sub Pop backed album contains features from The Palaceer of Shabazz Palaces, STAS THEE BOSS of THEESatisfaction, Nate Jack, and many other voices you may recognize...if you've been paying attention.

Ten Great Songs From The Depths Of My Soundcloud Account

Props to Soundcloud and all they have done for the music community so far. I couldn't just let these songs lie dormant, I had to share them. For a good time follow 206liz on Soundcloud (me). The Soundcloud app is one of my all time favorite inventions.

1. Bipolar Sunshine feat Goldlink - "Future Part 1" 2014  The beat drop at 51 seconds is what dreams are made of. I think I found this by following Oakland's Hot Record Société.




2. King Ara - "Who The Fuck You Talkin' To?" 2013  It amazes me that this song never blew up, which is pretty much how I feel about every song on this list. This is the only song on his Soundcloud account so far.




3. Reva DeVito - "Friday Night" 2014 (Produced by Kaytranada)  If I was into Fridays and all that it represents to 9-5ers, I would play this song on Fridays. Instead, I get to listen to it whenever.




4. Porter Ray - "Blackcherry" 2014 (SEATTLE MUSIC) New Sub Pop signee and Ish protege Porter Ray is poised for greatness. I actually listened to the entire Fundamentals album repeatedly, it's that good.




5. De La Soul - "Dilla Plugged In" 2014  (Produced by J Dilla)  I would have loved to see a tour for this album.





6. BJ The Chicago Kid + Add-2 - "15 Minutes Of Fame" 2014  (Produced by 9th Wonder)  Instant classic status.




7. Daughter - "Youth (BUDO Remix)" 2014  Budo is one of those producers who can make a great song even better.




8. MED, Blu, Mayer Hawthorne, + Madlib - "The Buzz" 2013  I'm still working on becoming the Peanut Butter Wolf of Seattle so that I can help make songs like this happen. I may fangirl out a little when it comes to my love for Stones Throw.




9. Maryam Saleh - "Nouh Al Hamam" 2013  (Produced by Oddisee)  Multi-genre music fusion is the best, especially when it's for a great cause. For more info about this project, check out the album on Bandcamp.




10. EarDr.Umz - "Live @ Stop Biting 7.8.14" 2014 (SEATTLE MUSIC) I could listen to this on repeat for hours, actually I already have.

Ten More Music Videos w/ Backwards Scenes

2. Cris Prolific feat. Illa J - "Voyage" 2010  *I freakin' love this song. Cris Prolific is a Belgian producer and Illa J is is one of the good ones.




3. Cory Jreamz - "Alive" 2013  *I think this song is interesting, but, kind of a mess.




4. Jypsy Jeyfree - "Jypsy Train" 2013  *Whoa, her feather looks crazy when the wind is blowing.




5. Kingdom Crumbs - "Pick Both Sides Of My Brain" 2013  *I can't wait to see what Tay Sean, Mikey Nice, Jerm D, and Jarv Dee do next. Here's the link to one of their great Live on KEXP performances.

6. Marsha Ambrosius - "Stronger Than Pride" 2014  *Jeru sample with a Sade name, that's a bold maneuver. This is one of the Floetry ladies.

7. Kyla La Grange - "The Knife" 2014  *I can't hate this song, it's just so poppin' fresh.




8. After The Fire - "Der Kommissar" 1982  *She takes her lipstick off with her lipstick; it's either a cool trick or backwards scene.




9. Porter Ray - "Float" 2014  *This has a car driving backwards AND smoking in reverse. Porter Ray is part of the New Era of Seattle Hip Hop.




10. DJ Krush feat. Deborah Anderson - "Skin Against Skin" 1997  *This is definitely NOT the real music video, but, the song is great. "Skin Against Skin" is on DJ Krush's Milight album.
