Spice joins the list, appearing in a summer banger, Energy with Flo Rida and Rotimi. There's more to enjoy from Aidonia, Jahshii, Govana, Skeng, Valiant, and Tommy Lee Sparta, plus others below.
Shaggy & DJ Cassidy ft. Rayvon - If You Like Pi a ColadasIn an interpretation of Rupert Holmes'1979 Billboard No.1 hit, Escape (The Pi a Colada Song), DJ Cassidy, Shaggy, and Rayvon have joined forces to produce a fresh take on the yacht-rock classic. With the reworked title, If You Like Pi a Coladas, the song brings a fitting tropical summer vacation vibe as Rayvon and Shaggy lend their 'island boy' librettos in the verses.
The new video, directed by Joseph and Mia Michele Labisi, pays homage to the 1989 cult comedy film, "Weekend At Bernie's," and sees DJ Cassidy take on the hilarious role of "deceased party host" Bernie, originally played by actor Terry Kiser, who makes a special cameo in the video by reuniting with his original co-star, Jonathan Silverman, who also appears. The scenes were filmed on location in Miami Beach in collaboration with Malibu , the go-to brand for Pi a Coladas.
In his latest drop Energy, American rapper Flo Rida shows us how he's spending the summer on his home turf with a little help from the Queen of Dancehall - Spice, and Nigerian-American singer Rotimi. The music video, directed by Alex Acosta was shot in Miami, Florida, showing off pool parties at his crib, and days jet skiing, and yachting in the company of bikini-wearing beauts. Club scenes later appear to spotlight Spice and her dancers "bussin' a whine" on the dancefloor. Watch more below:
After being faced with a "broad bumper" girl and others similarly endowed, Skeng has come down with a severe bout of Fever in this latest release. The Xtreme Arts-directed visuals bring this risqu episode to life, exhibiting some audacious video vixens displaying their twerking skills. See more here:
