Watch: Drake – “Marvin’s Room”
Drake‘s drunk-dial ode “Marvin’s Room” has received the video treatment, with a brand new music video making it’s appearance on Drake’s October’s Very Own blog. With a number of ephemeral shots, the video is a dizzying, hazy, but altogether quite fitting video companion for one of this year’s smoothest songs. Drake’s second studio album Take Care will be released on October 24, 2011. Check out the video below.
Listen: Chiddy Bang – “Mind Your Manners”
You might remember Chiddy of Chiddy Bang setting the Guinness World Record for the longest continuous freestyle — 9 hours, 18 minutes, 22 seconds of nonstop rapping — at MTV’s O Music Awards just over a month ago. After finishing his freestyle, Chiddy and Xaphoon took the stage to debut the lead single from their upcoming debut studio album Breakfast (out July 19), an upbeat jam entitled “Mind Your Manners”. The duo recently dropped their newest mixtape Peanut Butter and Swelly, available for download here.
We now have the full studio version of the song, which you can stream or download below. Furthermore, if you’re in LA and are interested in auditioning for the music video, more information is available here (shout out to my friend Marc at Mostly Junk Food for the link).
