NEW MUSIC: DAVID GUETTA / BIG SEAN / MEEK MILL

                             

David Guetta, Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj reconnect for the new video in support of their recently-released joint single “Light It Up.” Filmed by acclaimed director Benny Boom, the vignette for “Light It Up” is the sort of glossy, big-budget music video that fits right in with the rest of Nicki Minaj’s other recent visuals. Created to give 2017 one of its prominent “summer bangers,” “Light It Up” is one of those Billboard-ready records that’s tailored towards the club and pop radio.
You can check out the video for “Light It Up” above. At the beginning of this week, Nicki Minaj unveiled a video for her recent solo single “Regret In Your Tears.” Lil Wayne also made an appearance in the visual for his new song with DJ Khaled, Justin Bieber, Chance the Rapper and Quavo on “I’m The One.”

                             

Big Sean has released a powerful new video for his I Decided song “Light.” Featuring Jeremih, the video deals with a heavy subject matter as it confronts the landscape of violence in America. Directed by Lawrence Lamont, the clip sees a child caught in the middle of a gang shootout, black teenagers shot by police and a hijab-wearing woman senselessly stabbed on the street.
Big Sean shared about the video, “We shot this video a couple months ago and sucks to see these scenes are still consistently playing out in real life…even down to this week. It’s disheartening sometimes to see that not much has changed when it comes to hate, police brutality n just overall people losing their lives too early. But when I wrote this song, it was to reassure myself that no matter what happens, they can’t take away our Soul, our confidence, our ideas, n all that makes us shine. This song isn’t a single but is still super important to me, so I paid for a lot of this outta pocket to make sure we got this out. Rest in peace to all those who have lost life due to senseless actions. As I always say, each one of us have the power to make a change, it starts within….the inner Light.”

Fresh off the release of the video for his Tory Lanez collaboration “Litty,” Meek Mill begins the week with a new visual for the powerful opening track off his latest project. Supporting the Meekend Music cut “Left Hollywood,” Meek Mill heads back to the gritty Philadelphia streets that raised him for his new vignette. Taking his visuals in a different direction than last December’s opulent, mansion-based “On The Regular” video, he spits his bars straight from the trap for the “Left Hollywood” clip. “I had to get out of Hollywood — get back to the trenches,” Meek explains.
