Chance the Rapper has remained awfully quiet since he broke through with his excellent Acid Rap tape. His Surf project with Donnie Trumpet and The Social Experiment is forthcoming but for solo Chance there hasn’t been much. He’s kept busy with various other endeavors including acting. In Collin Tilley’s short film called Mr. Happy, Chance the Rapper stars as Victor, a depressed guy who discovers a website—MrHappy.com—where he can hire a hitman to kill him. Check out the trailer after the jump.
Sorry, no new material here. The highly reclusive Jay Electronica may not be dropping new music any time (though he promised… on many occasions) but he is starring in an upcoming film. The film in question, Into the Light, directed by Jason Goldwatch and produced by Mass Appeal, will be released in 2015 and is of the experimental variety. Meaning the plot synopsis isn’t quite clear, but what really is with Jay Elec nowadays? Watch the trailer for Into the Light after the jump.
Neako appears from the acid-scape with this trailer for “I Am Very Very Lonely,” maybe a break-up song but also maybe a comment on generational loneliness. Either way, this is an explicit but SFW video. Check it after the jump.

Want to be a SEAL without getting shot? This is as close as you’ll get. Act of Valor is a movie starring all real Navy SEALs with real modern weapons and tactics. The idea for the movie, which originally started as a training video, spiraled into a full film that will make terrorists shake in their caves. We should just play this on jumbo-trons all over the middle east, war-over. The film’s release is set for February 17th, stay tuned for more info.
