It’s hard to believe that this edition of The Wrap Up: Hip-Hop Wired’s Top 10 Videos of the Week marks the last one of April. Where is the time going? With the increasing load of video content picking up as artists all battle for summer radio dominance, it makes easy to get fixated on trying to catch every single treatment as they drop.

Speaking of summer, it’s an unofficial preparatory theme for most of the videos present in this week’s list. You can find one independent artist at the car wash where the girls are appropriately dressed for the environment and another at their local gym, trying to get right–and ripped.

As you click through, you’ll be taken through Brooklyn for the same kind of barbecue that Main Source started back in the day, all the neighborhood bodegas and end up in Harlem where you need to roll with the right crowd to keep all your personal belongs.

Surely you will enjoy the last April rain of videos as much we did picking them.

10. Homeboy Sandman – “Fat Belly”

Director: Bunny Bread

Good food meets good rap in the backyard for a BBQ.

9. Blake Selby ft. Dennis Wolf – “Monsta”

Director: Viro Films

Powered by the three R’s: rap, rock and rage.

8. Jon Connor – Black Skinhead (#BITWKanye)

Director: Kap Kallous & J Gatsby

Jonny Flintstone is pretty damn good at doing these. Kanye should just go ahead and hire his team.

7. Ryshon Jones – “Why You Wanna Be Perfect”

Director: Ryan Creighton

Mr. Jones doesn’t believe that pretty hurts or that you’re not flawless, Black girl.

6. Bodega Bamz – “Glorious”

This visual is so NYC, you can smell the pine tar as soon as you press play.

5. 50 Cent ft. Prodigy, Kidd Kidd, Styles P – “Chase The Paper”

Director: Eif Rivera

The ozone layer gets slayed while the G-Unit biker boys hold court in the streets.

4. ScHoolboy Q ft. BJ The Chicago Kid – “Studio” (NSFW)

Director: Jerome D

The Oxymoron basically wrote the treatment for this joint when he created the song. The art of movietelling.

3. A$AP Mob ft. A$AP Twelvy – “Xscape”

Director: Simon Davis

NY is a concrete jungle and these are the rhyme animals that occupy it.

2. Dizzy Wright – “Everywhere I Go”

Director: Jakob Owens

Women, weed and water. Peep the new recipe.

1. Pharrell Williams – “Marilyn Monroe”

Director: Luis Cervero

Make no doubt about it, Pharrell knows how to pick ’em.
