Drake Feat. Lil Wayne- "Miss Me" Music Video

A little over a year ago, Drake created one of the biggest buzz's we've ever seen in Hip Hop with his "So Far So Gone" Mixtape. Since that time, he has inked a deal with Young Money and has gone on to prove that his uncanny ability to co-mingle lyrics and vocals are reserved for a select few. While Lil Wayne is gearing up for his return, Drizzy has provided a much needed platform for Wayne to work on when he does get back to making hits. And after dropping visuals for his lead single, he gives another favorite of ours off the album, "Miss Me", the camera treatment. Compared to the last video, this production has an edgy yet subdued feel to it all the while giving the content of the song a perfect tone. Check it out.

Jeff Soto- "Off The Wall"

Through striking visual imagery, renowned artist Jeff Soto communicates profound visions and fears, nostalgia of his youth, and themes of love, lust, and hope. Soto’s distinct color palette, subject matter, technique and bold themes resonate with a growing audience. Inspired by childhood toys, the colorful lifestyle of skateboarding and graffiti, hip-hop and popular culture, Soto’s representational work is simultaneously accessible and stimulating.

Environmental issues also take precedent for Soto, who is concerned with conflict of humans trying to harness, or take advantage of nature. His paintings exude this tension, as robotic creatures duel, organic tentacles and flower bouquets thrive, and black smog looms amidst floating, ominous skulls. Recently, the team fromFriends With You caught up with Soto to talk about his latest solo exhibition entitled "Life Cycle" at Jonathan Levine Gallery, NYC and his background in art. Check it out.
