Video: Marvin's Room
I'm sure a video for Drake's viral track 'Marvin's Room' has been well anticipated, and one has finally debuted. The song that has Drizzy getting his R&B on in a rather melancholy way has taken the web by storm since it was first posted on the OVO (October's Very Own) blog back on June 9th. A matter of fact it seems to have taken the R&B world by storm as various artists have made remixes. IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD IT... the track is about a drunken Drake who has called up his ex saying that she "could do better" than the guy that she claims to "love so bad" !! THE VISUAL... Directed by Hyghly of XO and shot in Toronto, the video I think they smashed it as it meets the concept of the song. The video being so simple and strict to the lyrics actually proves to be much more effective than the many high budget videos floating around right now. With no further adieu, check it out...
Video: Break My Heart ft. Rick Ross
Homegrown talent Estelle is back with something awesome again. The rapper turned songstress has up with Rick Ross for the second single of her third studio album All of Me. The single 'Break My Heart' has been out for a while getting a frequent spin on the radio, but has only peaked #48 on the US Billboard Hip-Hop/R&B chart. Hopeful the newly released visual directed by Chris Robinson that made it's debut on 106&Park last week, will boot the track up the chart. Hopefully it makes top 10 over here !! Enjoy :)
NICE TUNE !!
I'm On One (ft. Drake, Rozay & Weezy)
DJ Khaled's 'I'm On One' featuring Drake, Rick 'Rozay' Ross and Lil' Wayne now has a visual. I've been playing this track like crazy but it's not really a track to expect a video as awesome to match. I didn't even expect a visual at all as there's not much you could really do with it other than have the artists (of course), alcohol accompanied with some kush, randoms, chicks a lush car Weezy bouncing about and Rozay's belly !! *DRUM ROLL...* that's exactly what you get !! Maybe not in that order but they're all there nevertheless. Sorry to be a party pooper !! What I did find funny though was the contrast; how DJ Khaled had it all lush with a bottle and glasses and Drizzy had his 'two white cups' as he says in his verse !! Oh well they're all rich !! Birdman also makes a cameo appearance in the clip. I totally love how Drizzy can swear in song in such a lovely way in such a hood song. Gotta love him hey..? Check out the video...

Alicia Keys re-releases debut album Songs in A Minor for 10th anniversary.
Today is the release date of singing beauty Alicia Key's re-release of her debut album Songs in A Minor. It is the second time the album is being re-released the first time after it's original debut in 2001 being a remix and unplugged version a year later in 2002.
This deluxe edition is extra special, it is a double disc 10th anniversary special. It's hard to believe that Ms Keys has been in the game for 10 years now as her music still remains refreshing and true to her style. She has come a long way, from the young women with the braids to the woman she is today - a mother and a wife.

Summer Has Arrived At Endz 2 Endz !!
Summer has finally arrived in the UK, well at least yesterday in London the sun made it's official debut this month - better late than never. We were blessed with all the sun that we've missed this month all at once in a heatwave. Causing alarm for the poor paramedics who had many casualties. The sun has been missing so long people can't handle it when it does make an appearance !! ANYWAY... forget the weather for now (by the way sun that is no excuse to disappear on us again). If you didn't know already I'm blog editor over at the London based, UK magazine's website - and what I wanted to share with you all is that summer has also arrived at Endz2Endz Magazine's website. We have a brand new look - a summer themed one at that and new attributes to the website. Also look out for the upcoming articles and very soon the sixth issue of the magazine. So make sure sometime today - and everyday you make sometime to check out the website. ← IT'S CLICKABLE !!
PS. Yes I've been m.i.a AGAIN, but hey it's better being back in action that not at all right..? ;)

Rihanna finally unleashes her 'Man Down' video!
FINALLY !! Rihanna's fifth single (US) 'Man Down' has finally made an appearance. The visual was just freshly premiered on BET's "106 & Park" (around 12am UK).
The joint which was co-written by fellow Bajan Shontelle, had to be shot somewhere in the Caribbean to match with the rhythmic reggae sounds produced by Shama Joseph. The video was shot and directed by Anthony Mandler in Jamaica in April 2011. Mandler told MTV News of the video in May:
The visual other than the guns that add the 'gangsta' appeal that Rihanna told MTV of last year, really makes you want to book a flight out to Jamaica and enjoy the relaxed vibe of the island while sipping on some fresh jelly coconut juice - as Rihanna does in the footage. MESSAGE...Rihanna also tweeted earlier that there is a message in her 'shocking' track: dsds

"It's just one of those songs that demands a strong narrative and visual...you can expect something that's dramatic and shocking and intense and emotional and uplifting and enlightening."The last couple of videos Mandler has shot for RiRi have been very floral and pretty; not to say this one isn't pretty but the reality of the song is seriously emotional a tad disturbing and definitely dramatic !! When it comes to translating audio to a visual Mandler is your man, and he has lived up to every word he told MTV under a month ago.

"Very strong underlying message 4 girls like me! #listentoyomama"ONE ISSUE... the video could potentially be band from certain channels as did her S&M video, but this time due to the violent elements to the song and video. I'm hoping that they won't edit it or band it, but we'll see. Apologies in advance if the video doesn't work.
With no further adieu, check it out...
COOL VIDEO!
