The New Hotness Vol. 2

These have all been added to the New Hotness YouTube playlist...and I love them. #YouTubeNchill

1. L'Orange + Mr. Lif - "The Gentle End" 2017  I love this duo...a lot.




2.  Lizzo - "Scuse Me" 2017  Lizzo is Queen Supreme. Go see her live on this tour if possible, you will not regret it. Her show at The Crocodile couldn't have been more amazing.




3. Missy Elliott feat. Lamb - "I'm Better" 2017  Speechless but glad she never left.




4. Matt Martians feat. Syd + Steve Lacy - "Dent Jusay" 2017  This is from Matt Martian's (of The Internet) upcoming album, The Drum Chord Theory.




5. Lou Phelps feat. Kallitechnis - "Average" 2017 (Produced by Kaytranada)  Okay Player always comes through and Lou Phelps remains chillin'.



This happened at work one day last year...

3 of the world's most interesting people...

6. L'Orange + Mr. Lif - "Strange Technology" 2016  This song made it to my Currently Overplaying list; was just pleasantly surprised to see there's a video. Even though it sounds like him, Aesop Rock is not the guest emcee on this song;  Akrobatik and Gonjasufi are the costars.




7. Swet Shop Boys - (Heems + Riz MC) - "Zayn Malik" 2017  So glad to have discovered this duo; may they safely and swiftly get through every border crossing they come across.




8. Jessie Reyez - "Shutter Island" 2017  This song/video has so many feels in the best way, be prepared. I love her.




9. Jamiroquai - "Automaton" 2017  At first listen, this song is a little cringeworthy at spots but the video is wicked. Plus, I really love the word "Automaton" because it reminds me of the movie Hugo and Dan The Automator. That said, I will likely never watch this video or listen to the song again.




10. Mayer Hawthorne - "Time For Love" 2017  Mayer Hawthorne is winning at life. #fuxwiththetux




11. Gavlyn + DJ Hoppa - "We On" 2017  She keeps getting better and better. Gavlyn first appeared on this site in 2013 on a compilation of Music Videos with Rooftop Scenes.

The New Hotness Vol. 1

All these videos and many, many more appear on my (regularly updated) New Hotness YouTube playlist. It doesn't have to be new to be the new hotness, the only requirements are that I just found it and think it's awesome.

1. Coco Mamba - "Tell Me Bout It" 2017  These ladies take action about the unwanted advances of men, courtesy of Okay Player.




2. Like - "Miss Me With That" 2016  I found this via Okay Player after checking out their coverage of his latest video, "Lamped." The new single is pretty good but I like this four month old jam even better.




3. Gabriel Garzón-Montano - "Keep On Running" 2014  I checked out this guy's YouTube catalog after seeing/hearing his first Stones Throw single, "Crawl."




4. Kweku Collins - "Stupid Rose" 2016  Found this via the YouTube sidebar. Half of me likes this and half of me can't believe I'm watching it still. Decide for yourself.




5. Silent Lambs Project - "Mic Choke"  2002  SEATTLE MUSIC  I dug this classic up because Third Eye Bling helped me add Silent Lambs Project's "House Of Respect" to my Public Transportation List. This song is beat nasty face all the way through. Silas Blak is the man, it's never too late to be the new hotness.




6. Bomba Estéreo - "Soy Yo" 2016  Another YouTube sidebar win I found while checking out all the recent videos posted on the Remezcla site. Their Live On KEXP videos are totally wicked; no surprise there.




7.  KAMAU ft. Talibah Safiya - "MĭNT" 2017  Another Okay Player win.   I've discovered so much great music on their site throughout the years and I will forever be grateful.




8. FRTNK - "Let Go" 2017  Yet another Okay Player gem, pronounced Fourteen K. Masks do make life easier sometimes.




9. Syd - "All About Me" 2017  When I got YouTube, Syd was there waiting. Can't wait to hear the rest of the album.





10. Residente - "Somos Anormales" 2017  NSFW!!!! This is one of the gnarliest videos starring John Leguizamo I've seen in awhile; be afraid, this is not a drill. Remezcla should be added to your music website favorites right now. For real, NSFW!
