SSGKobe Uses Wizardry To Ward Off Enemies in “Don’t Miss” Video
SSGKobe, one of the most buzzed-about young new artists, has released his wizard-fighting music video, ”Don’t Miss.” The action-filled visual is yet another mystical piece of SSGKobe’s world coming together, following the release of the Zack Bia-cosigned, “ESCAPE YOUR LOVE.” Originally from Louisiana, Kobe broke mainstream waves as a Soundcloud sweetheart with his Cole Bennet-directed hit, “MIA.” Directed by Rock and Egg, Kobe breaks into a school lab, where he puts his wizardry to the test, concocting potions and creating a magical wand before his enemies close in. Inspired by Kobe’s love of J.K. Rowling’s “Harry Potter” series, the video finds him moving hastily to make a defense potion against his opps, offering up his money, purple-piss and even a blood sacrifice. With the n...
“Welcome to The Last Goodbye”: What’s Going On With ODESZA?
The ODESZA faithful are waiting with bated breath after the beloved electronic music duo launched a cryptic campaign called “Welcome to The Last Goodbye.” ODESZA quietly rolled out the enigmatic initiative via a new microsite that invites visitors to subscribe with either their phone number or email.

The attachment leads to a landing page at Laylo, a tool artists use to directly message their fans—a not-so-ironic partnership considering ODESZA’s tight-lipped nature and tendency to go on extended hiatuses. The duo’s Laylo page encourages fans to enter a phone number to &...
