Welcome to FACT’s weekly video round-up.
As we note at the end of every year, music videos have never been better. But too often, music videos — along with documentaries, live sets and interview clips — get lost in the shuffle of news and new music.
With that in mind, FACT is doing what it does for mixes, mixtapes, vinyl and more: rounding up the internet’s best videos on a weekly basis. And to remove our bias, we won’t be including our own content — you’ll have to stay tuned to FACT TV for all your Against The Clock, FACT Freestyles and Confessions needs.

‘Everybody In The Club Gettin Shot’
Dir: PrettyPuke

Rizzla
‘Iron Cages / Twitch Queen’
Dir: Yulan Grant
The two-in-one video for ‘Iron Cages / Twitch Queen’ splices over a hundred YouTube clips, blasting images of police violence, political unrest, space exploration and more as guns are fired into the air in time with the beat.
DAWN
‘Billie Jean x Dance’
Dir: Monty Marsh
Dawn Richard is pure sex in this clip, which joins Blackheart cut ‘Billie Jean’ with new single ‘Dance’ into an American Beauty-referencing fantasy that is part S&M club, part dance party.

Nosaj Thing feat. Chance The Rapper & The O’My’s
‘Cold Stares’
Dir: TAKCOM
A pair of dancers turn the moody, drug-dazed ‘Cold Stares’ into interpretative choreography. Shot (at least in part) by drones, the video exposes the wireframes of a 3D environment, revealing the Matrix.

RATKING
‘Arnold Palmer’
Dir: Lubansky
Rap iconoclasts open a lemonade stand on the corner. Overhead shots of city streets and skateboarders give it some of that pre-Giuliani New York City flavor.

The Holy KIT
‘Always’
The LA-via-Chicago rapper continues his streak of videos with a low-concept clip that is a tribute to good location scouting: KIT raps in a drained, graffiti-covered pool on the grounds of an abandoned mansion.
