Not the one to shy away from provocative imagery, Iggy Azalea pulls from Middle Eastern dance routines in her latest visual for “Bounce.” Taking her bass-filled anthems down to India, Azalea reinterprets traditional dance routines with her hip-hop swagger. The clip shows Azalea cavorting amidst a festival of colors with interludes of psychedelic imagery throughout. The single comes as the second offering from her upcoming debut full-length The New Classic. “Bounce” is currently available on iTunes.

Videos: Rita Ora "Facemelt"

Roc Nation’s British sensation Rita Ora has been fairly quiet on the music front these past few months — being the face of Superga’s new campaign, a Twitter spat with Azealia Banks and concerts all around the world have kept her occupied — but today she returns with a hot new video for “Facemelt.” It’s part of Hunger TV‘s Dirty video series, which films visuals for album cuts that wouldn’t normally get the video treatment. Rita’s debut album, Ora, is out now on iTunes. Enjoy.

As legendary hip hop artist Snoop Dogg traveled to Jamaica, submerging himself in the Rastafarian culture to return as reggae musician Snoop Lion, the Long Beach native brought along a camera crew to document his journey both within and without. Matching the album title of his first foray into Jamaica’s tranquil music genre, Reincarnated was originally envisioned as a short film, however the extensive self-realizing footage of Snoop visiting Rasta temples, remote marijuana plantations, Kingston’s Alpha Boys School band, reggae legend Bunny Wailer and much more quickly transformed into a motion picture that runs over 90 minutes. Having already been shown in select theaters across the U.S earlier this year, the full version of the documentary is now being streamed online. Watch it above, buy it here and purchase the album on Amazon. Enjoy.

The moment every single one of us, without exception, have been waiting for is here. Ray J's "I Hit It First" video -- the visual obviously doesn’t feature an appearance from Ms. Kardashian, but includes a Kimmie lookalike and easily the highest profile cameo of Bobby Brackins' career. The song is also available on iTunes, should you be so inspired. Enjoy.

The day is finally here. Wiz Khalifa and Curren$y celebrate 4/20 by releasing their oft-delayed Live In Concert EP.

There couldn’t have been a more appropriate release date for Wiz Khalifa and Curren$y’s Live In Concert EP. The project officially hits iTunes on 4/20. Before you hit the pre-order button, check out part of one of a five part “Making of” series. Interestingly enough, the press release says “the EP uniquely blends Wiz and Curren$y’s rhymes with tracks from the melodic 1975 Bobbi Humphrey album Fancy Dancer." I definitely wasn’t aware of that. Enjoy.

Fabolous is quite the ladies man. The Brooklyn MC is destined for love in “Ready,” the Chris Brown-assisted single off his forthcoming Loso’s Way 2: Rise to Power LP. The cinematic visual takes us to the Dominican Republic, as Loso stumbles upon unexpected companionship in co-star Violeta Castillo. In classic “Cinderella” fashion, Fab sweeps her off her feet by wining and dining along the beachside, before eventually taking his new love interest back home. Available on iTunes now, “Ready” will appear on Fabolous’ sixth studio album due later this year via Def Jam Records.
