King Chip has this art-house video for your viewing pleasure. The title fits the concept perfectly too, a collage of slideshow images, some intense lazing around and a dark brooding protagonist. It also takes the focus off of Chip and puts it squarely on the Ohio sound and lifestyle he wants to celebrate. Watch the too-cool video after the jump. H/t NahRight.

Video: Pharrell – “Come Get It Bae” Feat. Miley Cyrus
Never let it be said (again) that the musical-genius-vampire-ageless-low-key-Asian-man that is Pharrell doesn't create ethnically diverse videos. After the humdrum about "Blurred Lines" not featuring enough women of multiple shades, he releases this. Miley Cyrus feature notwithstanding, this might be his most diverse display of beauties since his and Snoop's "Beautiful" way back in the early 2000s. Check the rainbow colored visuals after the jump.
Video: AWAR – “Wake Up Call” Feat. Freddie Gibbs
Gangsta Gibbs on this AWAR track shows he never takes a verse off in a surprising guest spot. Get your steak grilled and eggs fried. Check the video after the jump.
Video: Kirko Bangz – “Rich” Feat. August Alsina
Ooooooh...there's so much hip hop and R&B on this track. The rap-singer struggle is finally over. Aspirational "wanna be rich" stuff from Kirko's debut album Bigger Than Me. H/t NahRight.
Video: B.o.B. – “The Nation” Feat. Jake Lambo
B.o.B. with a passable song for warm weather. The lyrics overpower this formulaic beat with no overall harm done. Check the poolside vixens after the jump.
Video: Vic Mensa – “Fire In The Booth” Freestyle
BBC Radio has hosted some of the best freestyle sessions not named Sway In The Booth. Vic Mensa kills this for about 8 minutes non-stop almost fully off the top. It's a notable brilliant moment in his already bright career. Watch the video after the jump.
Video: Slim Thug – “Boss Life”
Every rap video ever made on a yacht and a black soundstage, welcome to your worst dreams and best nightmares. Slim Thug is an acceptable Rick Ross here, with just a dash of Houston trill warrior. His luxury rap standard never quite sticks but it isn't all fabricated either. Check the video after the jump.
Video: Troy Ave – “I’m Dat N*gga” Feat. Young Lito
We don't know yet how successful Troy Ave will be. Judging by his songs and his recent surge, he will be very famous and undeniably successful. This song is an allusion to that. He's delivering at every turn and letting us know about it. Check the video after the jump.
Video: Juicy J – “Scholarship” Feat. A$AP Rocky
Juicy J once upon a time had a scholarship fund for aspiring dancers on the road to higher education. But some people stopped that, considering it's crazy. Nonetheless, the sentiment wasn't lost. Juicy wants to continue his philanthropy by releasing the following promotional single. Let no pole go un-twerked in this struggle for equal opportunity.
Video: Stalley – “Feel The Bass”
Ohio can breathe a sigh of relief because their prodigal son is home so they don't have to worry about Stalley being their only representative. The video has vintage cars and Stalley walking around them and collecting them. That's nice. It's a great diversion from the MMG drama watching his smoothed out Ohio soul songs, too. Watch after the jump.
