Rome Fortune Ft. Masiwei - Can't be the one (Music Video by Glasshead)

Music videos by Glasshead are like theatric sets built in RuneScape universes where the Internet exists as heaven with heart emojis fluttering through your face when walking through the gates.

Glasshead continues their line of work with rapper Rome Fortune. Previously creating a video for Rome Fortune and Toro Y Moi on the “Hoodrich Disco” single from their partner EP self-entitled “Toro Y Rome Vol. 1,” Glasshead now presents visuals for Fortune, a Chinese rapper named Masiwei of The Higher Brothers group, and lauded producer Kaytranada. Their song “Can’t be the one” is admittedly sad in its honesty. “I can’t be the one for you. I wish I could, but it’s not true,” Rome Fortune sings in the chorus. The music is a club tune though, which listeners could gather from the playful metaphysical scenes pairing with the track.

Seeing the colorful graphic, digital edits by Glasshead and the great music to your ears is enough to absorb. People should be ready to attend the “Who’s Laughing Now?” album release show by Pittsburgh rapper Hippy Swizzy because Glasshead graces the performance bill along with DJ-producer Babyt33th and other artists. That show is July 27, 2019 in The ‘Burgh at 408 Finance Street.

Long Live Cap Jazzo

10 Cool Songs From Pittsburgh

Music videos and tracks featuring Hardo, Josephine, Nizzy and more.

1. Jordan Montgomery - Black Folk 4 Life (Bad Boy For Life Remix)

It was Jay tracks only. Slim Tha DJ proved up to the task combing through Jay Z’s music catalog to entertain a crowd at the Boom Concepts gallery venue in Pittsburgh. Rapper Jordan Montgomery was there as Hov’s super fan spitting every lyric bar for bar with acute cadence. Montgomery’s music could play at intermission during a Jay Z concert. He rhymes around the beat like Hov. His wisdom speaks to other young, black Americans and that deserves more attention. The classic flavor on Montgomery’s “Black Folk 4 Life” tastes fresh from the cut’s cool music video directed by Jordan Armstrong. Artists’ cameos by Jaybee Jackson and Livefromthecity are hype.

2. Slicky Williams - Remain Humble

A sensitive trap tale from Homewood, Pittsburgh rapper and singer-songwriter Slicky Williams. Buy his new EP on iTunes.

3. Josephine - I Need Teeth

Super chill song from an Irish-Jamaican songstress from the ‘Burgh. Any DJ worth any finesse could play Josephine’s track at the function. She has more music on the way so, don’t sleep.

4. The Keymakers - Tell Me Something

When we observed The Keymakers at the Always Money studio in Toronto, it was clear, Rome and Rederic had a plan to roll out their music. The assist from the Always Money collective, engineer B.C., writer Jesse Christophr and Cash Money Records representative Anshuman Sharma, boosts The Keymakers’ quality. From prep school life in the ‘Burgh to radio ready, introduce yourself to The Keymakers. If not, you may come across the group in a Spotify playlist.

5. Rome Fortune & Toro Y Moi - Hoodrich Disco (Music Video Directed by Glasshead)

Media production company and music group, Glasshead adds to their clientele with this music video direction for well-known musicians Rome Fortune and Toro Y Moi. Glasshead rises out of The Steel City to meet opportunities across the country because they entertain with whacky, flattering content kind of like a meme. Whether its hip-hop mimicking Doja Cat’s “Mooo!” song with The N word or general comedy about the culture, Glasshead shoots straight. Feature article on that squad soon.

6. Camp Yola x D Clak - Home Invasion Part 1

50 Cent got people wanting to turn their lives into TV like “Power.” It goes to show the inner-city underbelly really tries people. What’s perceived as entertainment is survival mode.

7. Hardo - Fame or Feds

Hardo follows up his 2011 “Fame or Feds” mixtape with OG Pittsburgh rapper Deezlee. This time, “The Fame or Feds Story” album illustrates Hardo’s trap origins, while paying respect to the relationships that affected him most. Hardo’s latest project culminates his development as a rapper to those who’ve watched his rise.

8. BIG BEE - WON By WON

“But I got this little dream team called B.C. What the fuck we gonna do?” The B.C. rap group is prowling. BIG BEE pouncin’.

9. FlatLine Nizzy - Watch

Next out of the trap. Watch his video for “Dey Don’t” too.

10. Stoneith - The Thought of Mine

“You keep switching up your ways moving lane from lane.”
