Shy Glizzy ft. Trinidad James - “Pilot” (Fxck Rap, 2012)

D.C.’s restless ball of aggression releases another visual off Fxck Rap for the Trinidad James-assisted “Pilot.” This is Fxck Rap’s second most radio-friendly cut (the first being “Swish”) that’s landing him some increased visibility, and while it does demonstrate Glizzy’s penchant for crafting light rap singles, it only offers a modicum of insight into him as an artist. But that’s the purpose of singles, to draw listeners in so they get exposed to an artist’s better work. Needless to say, fingers are crossed that “Sad to Say” gets a visual treatment very, very soon.

Gunplay - “Bible On The Dash” (601 & Snort, 2012)

Gunplay releases the video for this 2012 standout that’s probably his catalog’s most introspective song,  written while on the run to Atlanta after his armed assault of his old accountant. The video opens with a scene from Paid In Full that mimics Calvin’s posturing at his girlfriend’s house, then has Gunplay cruising through different parts of his native city. This comes at an interesting time for Gunplay, whose enjoying the rap community’s newfound appreciation for his artistry and story, as well as some peace of mind after being acquitted of charges that might have landed him a life sentence. Medellin Living Legend is coming this year.
