Swizz Beatz “Street Knock” f/ A$AP Rocky [Music Video]

Swizz Beatz and A$AP Rocky showed up at 106 & Park to premiere the visuals for the single “Street Knock”, directed by TAJ. The video includes cameos from Allen Iverson and Jadakiss. Set to be on Swizz’s upcoming LP Life After The Party.

Sidenote: It’s too bad Swizz is signed to Reebok and the video had to be contaminated with unnecessary product placement. I guess the Jeremy Scott x Adidas heat that Rocky was wearing makes up for it. Whoa Kimosabe I’m in Junya Watanabe!

Got girl problems? I do too. So do TiRon and ScHoolboy Q. The West Coast connection comes through with a collaborative effort titled “Love Me Not”, in which the duo vent out all the qualms of the opposite gender. TiRon to me is one of the game’s best at delving into our everyday issues with women and relationships. Add in ScHoolboy Q with Chuck Inglish on the beat, this track can do no wrong. Download the track and let us know what you think!
