This month’s RGV songs and videos range from some of the most gorgeous and stunning to some of the most terrifying and shocking we’ve heard all year. The RGV’s artists never cease to amaze us.

Savant Fossa - Friends

Savant creates his most massive and accessible single yet. Bustling dance-rock and effects-laden synth-pop that fans of Foster The People and Awolnation could appreciate.

Mr. Q - Picture Perfect

This alluring folk-pop band’s single is definitely the prettiest this month, with a dense and soaring sound in a song and video about a love that’s only “cute on paper.”

Bakri 11 - Ain’t No Trust (feat. Gizmo)

The latest video in Bakri 11’s upward trajectory. After opening for DaBaby, he now gets the jarring screams of rap-metal heavy-hitter Gizmo featured in his video shot by videographer and fellow scream-rapper GodBlesstheKid.

Italia - Bonus LvL Go!

Italia furthers her video game escapist theme with a shimmering beat, playful raps, and dreamy chorus that create one of the best comfort songs this month.

Valley Swerve - Te Quiero

From Valley Swerve’s short film “Otaco,” which premired at the MIRAAA Media Fest, is this gem of an 80’s palmscape that sensually recreates and translates “Suki Sa” from the Maison Ikkoku anime.

Conscious Vibe - Corner Store Poets (feat. Evolve)

Two rappers known for their street-life storytelling with “one foot in the grave.” Conscious Vibe drops raps like a sage and Evolve spits like a fighter. It’s one of the most fitting collaborations we’ve heard in a while.

Milagros - Pa’ La Fiesta

A sultry latin-pop club anthem for the ladies who are happy and single.

I Killed Techno! - Watch The Skies

One of IKT’s more kinetic and entertaining cyberpunk episodes, telling a grisly prophesy that piques our morbid curiosity.

RDZ Electric - SHE

Thick riffage and a soulful singing performance accentuate this ode to late night live music.

Monstruo Bohemio - Pa la Calle

Monstruo Bohemio usually evokes the raw and up-close energy of a street performance, and now they have a music video for that too. Be sure to check out the album this song is from, as it went a bit unappreciated last year when live music all but disappeared.

Noimnotwhite - Smile

Jay Barrera’s signature tripped-out brooding becomes chilling when set to a video of domestic horror, continuing last year’s “Stalk-Her” video and teasing an upcoming movie.
