Gotta thank the great writers at nahright.com for hippin me to these great new hip hop videos.
The Cool Kids - "Black Mags"

This shit makes me wanna get the tires on my 20 inch fixed. Cool Kids have been generating buzz among hip-hoppers and hipsters for a minute now. Two skate kids from Chicago, Chuck and Mikey get as much attention for their brightly colored alt-B-Boy fashion as they do for their trunk rattling beats.
Jim Jones - "Love Me No More/Byrdgang Money"
http://www.myspace.com/jimjones
Jones represents the best of NYC hip-hop. Founder of the Diplomats/Dipset with Cam'ron, Jones recently signed a joint venture deal for his Jones Family Productions with Columbia Records. His latest, Harlem American Gangster drops soon this Tuesday, February 19. Dude has been surrounded by controversy for his beefs with Tru-Life, Jay Z, and ex-runningmate Cam'ron.
Wiz Khalifa - "Say Yeah"
http://www.myspace.com/wizkhalifa
First off, how many dope emcees are coming out of Pittsburgh, PA? Wiz is one of those cats who's done stuff indie for years and recently been sucked into the major label machine - type of cat just waiting for a hot single to break him through. His mixtapes have been in and out of DJs and fans hands. Great quote from his manager: "[Mixtapes] are to hip-hop what touring is to rock," he says, "an important tool in getting the word out on an artist, and to let the streets decide whether he is ready for the world."
