The OWSLA team is strong with this one. Pusha T gets the full production strength from Skrillex's record label with a monster hit provided by Yogi collabed with Skrillex, Moody Good, and TrollPhace. Pusha T just sounds right over the EDM/trap heavy beats. The video is dope featuring fire, contortionist, and even Dennis Rodman. Sick!

Video: Rihanna - Bitch Better Have My Money
This is freaking genius. Rihanna is a bad bitch. The song is a monster hit, maybe one of her best in my opinion, and this video takes it over the top. Nudity, guns, more nudity, murder, Eric Roberts, what more can you ask for? Boy, how much has videos changed since the 90's, this is more like an R rated movie. BBHMM is a must watch! Definitely NSFW.

Video: Diplo - Set Me Free
Banger! Diplo is on fire right now, there's no slowing down for the Philly native. I don't know where he finds the time after dropping albums with Jack U and Major Lazer and the billion other artists he's working with and producing for, but Mr. Pentz drops some new material and blesses us with a solo trap effort. Don't know who the chick singing is but she's dope, banger from start to finish. On repeat!

Puff Daddy - Finna Get Loose ft. Pharrell
Puff Daddy and The Family is back!! They debuted this track with Pharrell at the BET Awards last week during the Bad Boy reunion, which was amazing!!! This was the last track right after Diddy fell in the hole, lol!! Like the previous Pharrell song, I'm not in love with this, but again I'll listen to anything Pharrell drops, it's our duty as Virginians. I think I'll appreciate this one more if I heard it in the club though. What do you think?

Pharrell - Freedom
Debuted at Glastonbury last week live, Pharrell drops the studio version of his newest song "Freedom". A jazzy and gospel sounding track that's definitely not "Happy". Not what I personally like hearing from Pharrell but I'll listen to anything that he drops. Any new material from him is always newsworthy. I'll give it a couple more plays.

Video: Jack U - Where Are U Now ft. Justin Bieber
The song of the moment right now, everybody is finally catching up and JB's dance ballad is tearing up the charts thanks to Skrillex and Diplo. Some people hate it just because it's the Beibs but you can't deny this song is fire! The video is at first understated but becomes a hodge podge of flashing art and graffiti, quite similar to the main album cover art. Some site actually had the time to slow down the frames and JB even takes a shot at Ms. Gomez; that's what the song is originally about in the first place right?

GoldLink - Dance On Me
Keeping up with the DMV, fresh off the XXL Freshman cover, GoldLink drops a Jersey Club track called "Dance On Me", or Future Bounce track as he refers to it. A great blend of singing and rap verses from the DC native adds depth to the smooth subtle dance track. Solid track to help kick off his 14 city summer tour.
