Perhaps by way of Kanye West‘s ’808s & Heartbreak’ offering, recent years have seen Hip Hop & R&B spawn a new breed of male contributors- sans the oversexed nature of the Trey Songz of the world but serving their own unique brand of brohemian sensivity.

Crafting cuts from and for the male voice, Def Jam’s Elijah Blake joins Drake and Frank Ocean as ambassador’s for the sound, with the release of his critically acclaimed mix tape, ‘Bijoux 22‘.

Now check one of our favorite jams from the R&B piece, named ‘Runnin’ Blind‘ and let us know what you think of it below…

Must-See: A*M*E – ‘Play The Game Boy’

These days music videos seem more a requirement than an artistic investment. So few churn out visuals that demand the attention of the masses; an ironic shame given the visual age we’re in.

Imagine our surprise, then, when we stumbled upon this epic gem from British newcomer A*M*E.

Aged just 17, the pint-sized singer razzles and dazzles in the video for her infectious debut single ‘Play The Game Boy’ (due November 5th via Future/ Universal Music).

The clip packs gloss aplenty, yet it’s A*M*E herself that shines most. Indeed, between the choreography, weave flicks, and intricate isms, it’s clear the Londoner possesses a confidence and stage presence well beyond her years. What’s more she co-wrote the song too.

She has excited, does she have the same effect on you?
