Busta Rhymes Throws A Wild Quarantine Party In His ‘Outta My Mind’ Video With Bell Biv Devoe

Living legends unite in the video from ‘E.L.E 2.’ …

Since Busta Rhymes‘ E.L.E. 2 single “Outta My Mind” samples New Jack Swing trio Bell Biv Devoe’s iconic hit “Poison” on its beat and chorus, it’s only right he bring the three living legends along for the video. The clip takes place in what looks like a warehouse, where Busta and his Conglomerate cronies throw a raucous mid-quarantine party — checking the temperatures of its female attendees despite the women’s obvious annoyance.

Once inside, though, the ladies are treated to a typically animated Busta Rhymes performance as the Dungeon Dragon brings the heat back via the fire he spits over the clattering beat — and his massive fur coat. How he maintains so much energy wearing that thing without losing a gallon of sweat is beyond me, but it’s impressive that he’s kept up that ability after nearly thirty years as one of hip-hop’s most quick-tongued lyricists. As for Bell, Biv, and Devoe, the three singers keep it dapper in matching suits and tasteful chains, differentiating themselves with their headwear.

Busta has had a busy month promoting his new album, which includes collabs with Anderson .Paak and Kendrick Lamar. He also made an appearance on Russ’s Chomp EP.

MTS Management Group artists celebrates friendship with new release “A Song for My Friends”

MTS Management Group artists’ latest release, “A Song for My Friends,” is a happy, upbeat song that captures the magic of being together, celebrating, and remembering. The track has a contagious energy that is like the spirit of late-night jam sessions and sing-alongs that happen out of the blue. The production is clean and smooth, but also laid-back.

The tune of “A Song for My Friends” is a toast, and it’s clear what the band wants. A party for the people who have been there since the beginning, the fans who keep coming back, and the nights that artists will never forget that remind them why they fell in love with music in the first place.

“A Song for My Friends” stands out in a world full of overproduced singles because it has heart, energy, and honesty. It’s a moment we shared that I put in a bottle and sent to you with a chorus that you’ll be singing long after the music stops.

Michael Soul hides from being open with new release “Hiding”

Michael Soul’s new single, “Hiding,” is a dark, hypnotic electronic track that takes listeners to a private place in their minds where they are alone, thinking, and feeling upset. “Hiding” was written when the author was very lonely. Michael Soul turns days of being alone, when silence seemed to last forever, and connection seemed impossible, into an immersive sound.

Andrea Mastroiacovo’s polished work makes the single even better, clarifying and deepening the song’s dark mood. The production carefully reflects that emotional weight with simple textures and dark electronic sounds that make you feel like you’re alone with your thoughts.

“Hiding” is a song about feeling alone, scared, and wanting to hide from being open. It asks questions that are quiet but sharp, like why do we hide what we feel? How does fear ruin love? And can we stop going in circles of misunderstanding and emotional distance? These echoes linger long after the track ends, prolonging the sound.
