[Music Video] Jai Nitai Lotus – Wu Baby
“God is good, God is great!”
Always happy to support friend of the Kitchen, rapper, Jai Nitai Lotus of Montreal. Here’s the latest visual for his recently released album, Affirmations for the single, “Wu Baby.” According to Jai, the song is a “shout-out to a Higher Power”, which is “rich in love, and greater than any man-made fear, division or fanaticism. The images in the video portray the vastness of nature in contrast to human structure.”

Feels Like Summer indeed! “Summertime Magic” and “Feels Like Summer” are the first music released by Glover since the “This Is America” controversy. Thoughts?
[MP3 + Music Video] The Sorority – Wildin’
Another Summertime bop from the very overlooked all-female, Toronto hip-hop super-group, The Sorority. Peep their album if you haven’t listened to it yet and check out their excellent live session for CBC Music.
The four women first collaborated at a cypher in 2016 on International Women’s Day and quickly drew attention from Noisey, Fader, and numerous other hip hop tastemakers. They’ve since released singles and played shows alongside The Internet, Jidenna, Miguel, Joey Bada$$, and A-Trak.
The Sorority allows each member to showcase their signature flare and style while providing a cohesion you would expect from a group. They mix the new with the old and show respect for the greats while blazing their own trail.
“Wildin'” is from The Sorority’s debut full length, Pledge, which was released earlier this year.
Lex Leosis: “The video was so much fun to create. It was Keysha who came up with the concept, but it was actually for a different song. As we began storyboarding and laying out the plan we felt that vision was perfect for Wildin’. When we dropped the album [Pledge], the reaction for Wildin’ was so positive that we decided it was the one.”
Keysha: “Creating this video was an absolute blast. The song has a really dope energy and we wanted visuals that complimented that. I think the comedic tone in the visuals make the song as a whole, that much better. The relationship between lyrics and what’s happening in the video are spot on. We know y’all will enjoy this.”
