NEW VIDEO: ALOE BLACC, "LOVE IS THE ANSWER"

Aloe Blacc's song "Love Is The Answer" off of his newest Wake Me Up EP is met with bold visuals showing what happens when a family, a community, and a school system do not see love as the answer to the difficulty of raising a child. The video starts off with parents fighting, and two brothers in a bedroom listening to the fight. The brothers are then followed in their daily polar lives until they meet at the end in an unlikely happenstance. It is a stinging visual to what really happens in the lives of today's youth.

"Love Is The Answer" was produced by Pharrell Williams. --GB

NEW SONG: ASTRO, "NEW NEW YORK"

Astro does his part in calling rappers to challenge themselves in "New New York." His stance on hip hop seems to call out certain rappers in particular, without naming names. 

There are certainly different types of rap out there. Is some rap better than others? Like rap with substance? Or are all types of rap necessary to keep the hip-hop train running? 

Listen below (produced by The Mentalist).
