Music Video: Joel Plaskett Releases Evidence of Foreign Involvement on His Latest Album With ‘Collusion’
Every few years such fresh political controversy overturns a page in the dictionary and uncovers a curious bit of terminology to be added into the common vernacular. We’ve seen scandals (and near-scandals) bear fruit with such words as gerrymander, prorogue, impeach and, most recently, collusion.

Music Video: Rich Aucoin Captures the United States via Bicycle for ‘Dopamine’

But it was the normal everyday kind of changes they were experiencing: love, work, school, and the other usual events that make up a life. They weren’t expecting the kind of unifying changes that could halt any plans for touring a new album and re-recording and re-releasing a new at-home version of their single “Tension Mountain”, but here we are.

Music Video: Keonté Beals Challenges Toxic Masculinity on ‘KING’
Keonté Beals is back with a new video that hammers home the idea that if you’re not going into 2021 as a more empathetic person you have wasted your year. “KING” frames stoicism as toxic masculinity, the weight of which can negatively impact anyone’s mental well-being, but as Beals explains, under societal pressures and rigid scrutiny as a black man it can become a lifelong prison.
