Felix Brady directs a trippy tour de force of thrilling creativity for Unknown T's Hocus Pocus, featuring Loyle Carner - and gleefully subverting expectations of both artists. The video offers a very distinctive and hugely imaginative blend of performance and visual storytelling, which merges past, present and future aesthetics with a visionary touch - with videogaming as an inspiration and motif.It's a triumphant return to music videos by Felix Brady, who takes everyday objects and distorts their familiarity: cars mounted on hydraulic arms, a vibrant colour palette, visual illusions and nostalgic 90s gaming iconography.Furthermore, Brady upends our previous experiences of the artists themselves. Loyle Carner is presented in a much more dominating way, contrary to his familiar and softer public image, while Unknown T’s persona shows a shift from his drill days into more art directed, highly crafted scenarios.In doing so, Brady has created a world that is defined by its utter unpredictability, including some future-iconic moments of surrealism, including Unknown T on a golf course raining hole-in-ones, Carner performing loops on a playground swing, and both playing an arcade video game in a field."It’s a visually-forward film," Brady confirms. "I wanted back-to-back grandiose scenes that are performance-focused. I was inspired by technology, play and contemporary design, but I also really wanted to push the rap envelope. It’s all play - the car, which is emblematic of rap videos, exists as a gyrating sculpture in the background, like a piece of modern art."The infinite hole-in-one golf scenes. Loyle in a speedboat is reminiscent of those coin-operated kiddie rides outside Asda. The kid on the bike searching the park harks back to Pokémon Go. Loyle loop-the-looping on a swing. Tetris inspired the floating building scene… We had fun with it.”

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 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.

KC Locke brings some iconic symbols of luxury living to a warehouse setting, adorning the performances of Raye, Russ Millions and wewantwraiths for production team Da Beatfreakz's Money Calling.As usual Locke gets excellent performances from the featured artists through a variety of punchy set-ups, but its Raye who stands out, adding charisma and glamour to the proceedings. It's one of the best of her many music video appearances. "Da Beatfreakz, known for their big collab tracks, really did something special with this one," says Locke. "Working with Raye on this project was a great opportunity to give a contrast of femininity energy and dark beauty to a usually male-dominated drill genre of music. Raye is a natural performer and I feel together we really brought something special to the table."This is a great example of building relationships with artists and making the most of a shoot. Though the concept was simple I wanted the artists individual performances to stand out in their own unique way and feel crafted,raw and powerful."
