Mac Miller, Casey Veggies, and 17-year-old rap prodigy Joey Bada$$ linked up in New York City to shoot the music video for “America”, a standout from Mac’s latest mixtape Macadelic. Directed by Mike Waxx and Mike Carson of illRoots, the visuals feature the three rappers dropping their bars as the world around them becomes cartoon-like and animated via some crazy editing. Plenty of American flags and Illuminati references to go around here, so sit back and enjoy.
Okay, so this is just crazy dope. For his official remix of new single “Boyfriend”, Justin Bieber enlisted the help of buddies 2 Chainz, Mac Miller, and Schoolboy labelmate Asher Roth. Still don’t believe me? Check out the all-star cast rap all over Bieber’s airy beat for yourself below. Oh and if you weren’t already familiar, the keys and production were contributed by none other than Mike Posner.
Bieber’s new album Believe, which will be his third studio album, hits stores on June 19th through Island Records. Aside from this official remix, “Boyfriend” was also remixed by the Ying Yang Twins, who contributed two new verses on the song for Bieber. You can listen to that here.
New Jersey based (no pun intended) producer Clams Casino was recently tapped by chillwaver Washed Out to remix their newly released single “Amor Fati”, which was just put out yesterday by Weird World. Those that order the 12″ single package are treated with three exclusive tracks, including this remix. In his reworking of the euphorically upbeat track from Washed Out’s 2011 release Within and Without, Clams gives it a more laid-back vibe, fine-tuning the summery track to fit the cooling weather. Personally, I’m a big fan of the original track, but without a doubt, Clams does the song justice. That should come as no surprise though, as the producer’s resume includes standout beat work for the likes of Lil B, Mac Miller, and most recently on A$AP Rocky‘s new mixtape.
