Sau Ali makes a brilliant music video directing debut with an intense and imaginative visualisation of Lancey Foux and SL's collab with Stay Flee Get Lizzy.&nbsp;Sau wanted to create a visual experience that explored the feeling Simple. Ironically the track is fast, heavy, addictive and angry and he wanted to steer towards that juxtaposition and create an eerie atmosphere - an atmosphere that represents the warped perception of anger displayed through every scene.[imgtoken data:1]Ali and DoP Louis Brennan have looked at obscure references, particularly in the fashion world, for inspiration in their set-ups. Furthermore, the differences in Lancey and SL’s styles - sonically and visually -&nbsp;gave Sau the freedom to play with different directions, then marrying them together to form unique portrayals of both artists.The video also features flashes of the late and great Virgil Abloh. The reason is not just&nbsp;because Lancey raps 'I’m on the phone to Virgil, new Louis Vuitton'. Abloh&nbsp;was also a massive fan of the track prior to its release, and was&nbsp;on FaceTime to Lancey and SL in the studio when they made it . That made the whole mission even more special for Sau, A&amp;R exec Ose Egbejale, and the rest of the team.

Unknown T and Dir. Lx create their own gripping drama, with none other than Top Boy's Ashley Walters, for Who Said Drill's Dead, the Homerton rapper's storming defence of the drill scene.Walters effectively reprises the iconic role of Dushane from Top Boy in the video, holding court in his favourite café, as per the TV show. Unknown T enters his domain, and risks his safety with his relentless lyrical flow in the face of an impassive, but increasingly impressed&nbsp;Ashley.Then Unknown T is off, back to his ends and his own boys, for the last performance-based section of the video. Gripping stuff indeed. &nbsp;

Yung Filly 'Long Time' by Dir. Lx

Dir. Lx's third video for Knucks' new album Alpha Place is a slick, stylish, movie-referencing&nbsp;affair for the track Die Hard - featuring Stormzy.Not surprisingly considering its title, the video pays homage to the classic Bruce Willis-starring actioner - with Knucks donning a singlet to crawl through an air vent. But there are nods to a few other cult&nbsp;movies besides - including American Psycho, Bad Boys and Seven.[imgtoken data:1]Lx utilizes numerous toys in his mission to create a sophisticated visual for this excellent track, and ultimately this is a great showcase for the easy charisma and charm of both featured artists. Knucks and Stormzy look cool, calm and collected throughout.But the video does finish&nbsp;on a poignant note, with a visual tribute to the late Jamal Edwards, founder of SBTV and music entrepreneur who died in February, aged just 31. He was such an important figure to a lot of people, including Knucks and Stormzy - and also to&nbsp;Lx, who began his career at SBTV, where he met some of the artists that have become key collaborators in his career to date.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Knucks ft Stormzy 'Die Hard' by Dir. Lx

Knucks-Ft.-Stormzy--'Die-Hard'-by-Dir.-Lx

Dir. Lx directs a gripping promo for Knucks, the first chapter in a trilogy of videos between the director and artist.&nbsp;The video for Leon The Professional - which takes its name from Luc Besson's classic 1994 movie&nbsp;- tells the story&nbsp;of a young hitman making a name for himself, whilst&nbsp;a case is being built against him.Throughout the course of the video we watch time run out for Leon, ultimately leading to a bloody confrontation with the officer tracking him.The enigmatic vignettes feature a blend of fiction and documentary aesthetics, which lend&nbsp;a sense of realism and raw energy to the concept.&nbsp;The chase scenes create a feeling of unease, balanced with a quick-cut edit that keeps up the tension and excitement throughout.&nbsp;

The second&nbsp;of a trilogy of videos by Dir. Lx for Knucks is a dive into his and co-star SL's lives on their respective London estates, told partly in split-screen.In each case, Knucks and SL's journeys through their homeground mirror each other, with Lx matching&nbsp;the fast flow of their performances through the motion of the camera&nbsp;and a superb edit, together with the split-screen device.Lx also introduces a narrative aspect to the performance, and with his trademark use of stills and titles, this adds to another level to proceedings. It takes you right to the heart of the action.

Shan Phearon returns with an electric visual for maverick rap star and cult wordsmith Potter Payper.&nbsp; Street-futurism, big set-piece spectacles and subtext collide as introspective Potter travels a long, dark road in a glowing VW Golf flatbed truck ridden by outlaws, and performs the confessional Gangsteritus amongst mysterious, symbolic figures in the abyss of the night.Taking the texture of UV in a forward-thinking direction, Shan and his team devised and built one of the world's first UV blacklight drones for film, to achieve the striking vision. The music video is part of Apple Music's The Agenda series, pairing UK music's most important contemporary performers&nbsp;with trailblazing filmmakers.

James Fitzgerald directs an unlikely love story for Forest Blakk's Fall Into Me, when a shopping mall worker strikes up a relationship with an after-hours cleaner - who's half-human, half-wolf.With charming performances from his actors - and featuring Desmond Eastwood as the werewolf-esque main protagonist - Fitzgerald channels the playfulness of '80s teen comedies in this unusual&nbsp;romance - set in a convincingly US-style mall in Dublin -&nbsp;in his third collaboration with Blakk.&nbsp;&nbsp;DoP&nbsp;Burschi Wojnar balances saturated coloured lighting and camerawork&nbsp;with a more contemporary, glossy style, resulting in a polished, timeless aesthetic which suits the concept perfectly.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;
