Nathan Barnatt Dances to Skrillex's "Ease My Mind" With Niki & The Dove [WATCH]
Nathan Barnatt is known for his creative and at times wacky videos, and his new clip for Skrillex's "Ease My Mind" featuring the vocals of Niki & The Dove is no different. Taken from Moore's 2014 album Recess, "Ease My Mind" has been one of the standouts from the album and has remained one of the lasting singles to come from the album. Barnatt's video does what he does best, bringing his whacked out dance moves to the Skrillex-crafted beat. He manages to mold his odd personality and quick editing into a storyline about love and love lost that fits with the theme of the song. If it were not for the fact that Skrillex has pretty twisted videos and Nathan Barnatt is somewhat of a YouTube celebrity, someone might mistake this for his official video. -

Chief Keef Shares New Song "Voodoo" [LISTEN]
Although he dropped a new song "Hiding" only yesterday, Jan. 27, Chicago drill star Chief Keef is back with yet another new track titled "Voodoo," which you can check out below. This time around, the production is handled by KC Beatz, who gives the track a better beat than what we normally hear on a Keef track, opting to go the atmospheric route with a trap beat underneath. Perhaps inspired by the better-than-usual beat, Keef actually makes an effort to be somewhat coherent in his delivery -- or, as "Hot New Hip-Hop" puts it -- the lyrics "verge on intelligible." -
