Coming from a well-educated family, the pressure was high for King Riley to succeed. This Lagos, Nigeria, artist aims to connect with audiences across landscapes through sound. “Clout” (video directed by Legendary Art Films) taps into his risqué side, ramping up with a feature from Salt.

Idaho folk/roots-rock artist BOSCO brings a message of peace, togetherness, and perspective in his music. In the “Brothers” video (directed by Jared Sagal), he shows footage of the Ukraine-Russia conflict. As fiery as it is, it testifies to BOSCO’s belief in the power of brotherhood.
“Walk The Line” Music Video: Jimmy Mack (Hip-hop)
Florida-born, California-based rapper Jimmy Mack has been spitting fiery verses for decades. “Walk The Line”, from his upcoming album My Own Lane, double as a history of the civil rights movement. The video (directed by Manny Brea and Jonathan Betancourt) shows us protests, political action, and civil rights leads both historical and current.
“WE CHOOSE TO GO TO THE MOON” Music Video: STONKS Bros (EDM/Dance)
Duo Mick and Andy – together known as STONKS Bros – are creating a futuristic, out-of-this-world soundscape to get people talking about the future of cryptocurrency. The “WE CHOOSE TO GO TO THE MOON” video (directed by Stephen Lovchyld) captures the essence of crytpo-mania, showing cartoon versions of the artists traversing through space in their rocket ship.
