Melanie Fiona "Wrong Side..." (Larenz Tate, dir.)

Melanie Fiona "Wrong Side Of A Love Song" [Official Video]

There's some star power behind this new Melanie Fiona — it premiered on Jay-Z's Life+Times site, stars Omari Hardwick, and was directed by actor Larenz Tate  (Menace II Society and lots more) — but the video would stand alone even without those talking points.

Pusha T "Millions" (Samuel Rogers, Dir.)

Pusha T - Millions (Explicit) ft. Rick Ross

Pusha T and Rick Ross explore their home territory, a seedy underworld of, well, it has something to do with kilos and Arm & Hammer. Director Samuel Rogers creates a visual world where the smoke is thick, the daylight is harsh and eventually somebody kicks down the door. Come for the Griselda Blanco lookalike, stay for Pusha's wide-eyed performance.

Best Music Videos Of Grammy Monday

It only sense that the Grammys serves as the new music lauch for so many artists, but the sheer number of great videos that dropped on Sunday/Monday is worth recapping. I mean, all those folks who do weekly Best Of recaps can take the rest of the week off, because these might prove to be hard to top. And you don't need to spend $1.77 to any of them.

Here's what you may have missed:

Drake "Started From The Bottom" (Director X & Drake, dir.)

Drake ~ Started From The Bottom

Drake knew he was destined for greatness from the moment he was made night manager at the pharmacy. That ludicrous, yet fantastic set-up — made even better by a comedic interlude in which his co-workers try to turn a price check into a booty call — is the heart of this new video, which takes him from Toronto's snowy streets to living in Entourage paradise.
