Here’s a cool video for Chance’s single Smoke Again ft. Ab-Soul.Acid Rap drops on April 30TH.

Around the release of #WHITE, I shot this video with RDBN. The plan was to put a group of people into a hotel room, and capture a performance amidst a real party scene. Due to legal circumstances surrounding the video, it was never released. Over the past several months and a lengthy investigation and legal battle, a settlement was recently made that accommodated both the interests of BRAINBANDITS and the family of the individual involved. We’ve been cleared to release the video for the time being.

Daughter’s cover of Daft Punk’s ‘Get Lucky’, recorded live & exclusively for Huw Stephens on the BBC Radio One Live Lounge on Saturday, 27th April 2013.

Inner City Kids representer, ABGOHARD, titles this one “WHAT RACE?”. The song and visuals are fun so this should be easy to enjoy.

L.A. native Henry Laufer, the 21-year-old producer better known as Shlohmo, has garnered momentum in the industry in the past couple of years due to lo-fi and low-BPM compositions. Besides his own creation, it is also his growing catalog of superbly atmosheric remix work that has granted him critical acclaim. His recent musical journey has taken Laufer gradually moving away from from electronica-infused beats toward the soulful sounds, reminiscent of post-dubstep. This development and culmination of Shlohmo’s appreciation for R&B can be experienced on his recent EP offering Laid Out, out now via Friends Of Friends.

I’ve followed GrandeMarshall‘s career from the start. No really, the start. I remember chopping it up with him on message boards when we were both still in grade school – he’d send me songs, I’d make him album artwork.. I’d send him beats, he wouldn’t rap on them. Shit, I still have maybe 10 of his old songs, and they’re all still dope. I remember hearing one of the first songs he’d ever recorded, before dude’s voice had even dropped, and knowing he had what it took to be something great. The talent he exhibited then was something to watch, but the progression he’s shown in the past year alone is nothing short of amazing. When he played his first show in NYC last year, I knew it was something I had to capture. I hit him up and we shot what was the first video interview with GrandeMarshall, and the first video for BRAINBANDITS (we were going by iheartbrain at the time, but you know.) We went on to work together again for his first music video for “Thuggin Shidd Pt. II”. The week before it was released, Grande signed to Fool’s Gold Records, at only 18 years old.

Today, Grande dropped his second project, MUGGA MAN, a 21-track tape with production by GrandeMarshall himself, Ben Pramuk, Nascent, SamGreenS, MP The Gawd, Stackz Beats, among others. The project is a testament to Grande’s progression, and marks his first label release in what I’m sure will be an impressive career.

Directed by Tyler, “IFHY” makes use of some trippy prosthetics, placing Tyler inside a dollhouse. Featuring Pharrell. Definitely disturbing, definitely good.

Travi$ Scott hit the stage at the Converse x Thrasher Death Match at SXSW, and BRAINBANDITS’ own Wonda and Pat Peterson were on hand to capture it all from on stage. Edited by Tunji Ige, this cut features appearances by Casey Veggies, Mike Dean, Wonda, Anthony Kilhoffer, and the homie Chase B.

Sperry took an acid trip to Mexico with Chance & his team and just dropped this video with some of the footage from that trip. Chance is rocking the “College” hat by the homies at ANMLHSE.
