The newest video from former Port O'Brien frontman's Van Pierszalowski's solo outfit WATERS, is the stop-motion glory of "Mickey Mantle." The video, as part of the Music Video Race project, was filmed in less than 48 hours, which ended up winning Best Song (not best video). Check it out below.

After announcing the follow-up to 2010's spectacular Sir Lucius Left Foot ... The Son of Chico Dusty, Big Boi, alongside Theophilus London, released the first track from Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors, "She Said OK." It starts off a bit weird, but you kinda get into it.
This new cut, "Ocean Floor For Everything," from Tom Krell's How To Dress Well project comes through with the quality production of a Jame Blake single, distorted, echoed loops with an R&B aesthetic. Check out the crafty single below.
From Big K.R.I.T.'s upcoming studio debut, Live From The Underground, is this cut "What You Mean," featuring Ludacris.

Listen to "What You Mean" below (via You Heard That New), and grab K.R.I.T.'s album Live From The Underground June 5.
