I first have to say that Paublo Patrick is one of the few artist that I work with on a regular basis and he stays on me about everything! So much so that I have received several Facebook messages scolding me about why "Young Lord" and "Fire" have yet to be featured. With all that being said, I have two Video Bombs below from 3921 front man Paublo Patrick and these two visuals are sure to put Paublo Patrick in your immediate sight. Given that "Young Lord" dropped first, I will start with that.Directed by BBros Filmz,Young Lord is another dope imprint in music from the mind of Paublo. He often grabs you with sound clips from familiar visuals before he ever drops a verse. Paublo Patrick's lyrics literally touch my soul. Given the interviews him and I have conducted I am well aware of where he came from and where he is going. He gives you a wide open view into real life strife. Sometimes you can't quite pinpoint where he is going with his visuals but once you see the entire thing come together it is mind blowing. He always has nice scenes and I love that he almost always incorporates a beach scene. The scenes of him with his children and in the studio shows he is just a regular guy living life. And the fact that he placed himself in a room reenacting the night he lost his mother is touching and sad all at the same time. Being as young as he was when he lost her only amplifies what the video is saying and I have no idea how he was able to even participate in the scene knowing what it represented.He does not disappoint with these visuals and continues to surprise me with what he puts together. Check out my Rate for "Young Lord": Below and even further down check out my Review and Rate of "Fire" also by Paublo Patrick --M$C

Directed by Bungy Clips, Jay Raw and Famous Kid Smoothie (Smooth Hines) link up for " Why They Hating" I like the message and while I am not familiar with Jay Raw I definitely think he could be a good rapper with much more practice. The scenes that were captured, were beautiful but I wasn't sold on the talent aspect. It is more to rapping than accurate punch lines and a known face in your video. Everybody can't rap and while I am not completely impressed with the rapping the message was understood but the concept was lost. I wish more artist would put real thought into their concepts and really embody their music further with the visuals. What does this song mean to you? Show Me! Well check out my rate below as well as the video. --M$C
