DāM-FunK - I Don't Wanna Be A Star! [Music Video]

After releasing his well received EP, "I Don't Wanna Be A Star!" late last month, modern day g-fonk icon, DāM-FunK, let's loose the West Coast visuals for the smooth title track. The music video starts off with the Stones Throw artist surrounded by the tools of his musical passion followed by some good old fashion, down to earth cruisin', as he contemplates his anti-stardom. Tremendous respect to DāM for making it all about the music. Watch the video / buy the EP below and turn up the bass and let the trunk rattle!

Kendrick Lamar - ADHD [Music Video]

The newly crowned king of the West, Kendrick Lamar, heads to the East Coast to shoot his newest music video for his track ADHD off one of the best releases this year, Section 80. So reminiscent of that classic Bone Thugs flow. Kendrick Lamar > Everyone Else

Directed By Va$htie

“ I had the honor of directing a music video for one of my new favorite artists - Kendrick Lamar. After falling in love with his mixtape Section.80 and playing it on repeat, I was given the choice to pick any song to direct. I settled on “A.D.H.D.” for it’s dark beat and melancholy lyrics, tones that have always resonated with me. Like most of Kendrick’s songs off Section.80, it felt like a confessional of a conflicted generation; a timeless and universal theme. "
