Watch: Incredible new Noisia video

Noisia make the heaviest beats around, bar none and the Dutch production masters have just dropped a video for their track Shellshock.

Featuring Foreign Beggars on vocals, it shows their crack team of commandos come up against a huge and powerful beast which not even bullets can displace. Or is it something else? You’ll have to watch the video below to find out, but make sure turn the volume right up or else you’re missing out.

As if that wasn’t enough, the Noisia boys are giving away the track as a free download here so you’ve got no excuse not to pick it up.

Watch: New Nas and Damian Marley video

Damian Marley and Nasty Nas have dropped new visuals from their Distant Relatives album.

Nah Mean sees the duo walking through the streets delivering their verses. Pretty simple really, but the tune’s a biggun. All that’s left is for Nas to buy a belt to save holding his trousers up through the whole thing. Silly Nas.
