SmCity (@SMCityMusic) Ft. Maffew Ragazino (@MaffewRagazino) — “Sports & Entertainment” (Video)
This track has a great message regarding some young black males only having career goals primarily geared towards sports and entertainment versus STEM (science, technology, education and medicine). The people (read: me) are also anticipating the third installment of SmCity’s IMMORTALS series too. So check out the video for "Sports & Entertainment" after the jump and stayed…

Benjamin Starr (@Benny_Starr) — “American Dream” Ft. Trey Trower & MILE (@MILE_HLE) (Video)
You got to hand it to Jay-Z and Kanye West’s influence. A year and a half since the "Otis" video release, and rappers are still using the American flag in their videos and photographs. From A.S.A.P. Rocky and Freddie Gibbs, to Carolina artists Kaze and Benjamin Starr. "American Dream" is from Benny Starr’s Guns-N-Roses mixtape, one…

Mr. Grind (@MrGrind) — “All Ashy Everything” Trinidad Jame$ All Gold Everything Parody (Video)
"Free My Grandma?" Erykah Badu is quoting him, a much hyped (and possible sold out NYC show tomorrow night at Santos), an upcoming appearance on MTV’s RapFix and now folks are doing parody videos too. Love him or hate him, Trinidad James has almost made it. Only thing, I can’t help but wonder if this…

Rain (@Rain910) — “Welcome To My World” (Video)
Beyond the fact that this beat is ill, it’s good to hear more Carolina artists creatively weaving societal issues into their lyrics. I don’t think some of y’all realize yet that only making songs about bottles with sparklers, blowing money fast, and foreign cars is getting old. Besides, seeing money being spent in the club…
