Chrome Sparks "Marijuana" - Trippy Music Video and B-Sides (KJ Song Rec) | Third Monk


Chrome Sparks is the project of Jeremy Malvin, a musician and producer living in Brooklyn. With a background in classical percussion, Jeremy combines his love for synthesizers, beat music, and dance music into a unique blend. 

Chrome Sparks – Marijuana (Live)

 

Marijuana sampled a 1977 track from Idris Muhammad:

Idris Muhammad – Could Heaven Ever Be Like This

Tous – The Chillwave Cat

An industrious dude was asked to babysit his girlfriend’s cat, and made the above video in the process. Shared to Reddit the clip presents a day in the life of a very alcoholic orange tabby, set to the soothing/trippy sounds of Chrome Sparks’ “Marijuana.”

The production — a mix of Washed Out-style chillwave and Flying Lotus-owing electronica — is truly the perfect fit to this visual. – SPIN Magazine

Kid Cudi, King Chip – Just What I Am, Psychedelic Music Video (KJ Song Rec)

Kid Cudi Ft King Chip – Just What I Am
Album: Indicud

Kid Cudi made his name as a stoner rapper before ditching Mary Jane for cocaine and a stream of problems. Just What I Am is Cudi’s chill anthem about his return to cannabis. Sometimes people blame cannabis for personal issues and take a break from it. When they get their life back in balance and realize that it wasn’t the herb causing the problems, reuniting with the medicine becomes a celebration.

For his directorial debut, Kid Cudi said he wanted to make a music video designed to be watched on shrooms and herb.

Neighbors knockin’ on the door, asking can we turn it down

I say, “Ain’t no music on” she said, “Naw, that weed is loud”

Essentially, marijuana can extend the range of our free-associative capacities. It increases the novel ways in which we find connections between ideas, and it also extends the range of ideas that we might somehow relate to one another.

While not surprising, it does offer a scientific validation for what so many artists, philosophers and scientists have been saying for ages: that marijuana is a cognitive catalyst that can trigger heightened free-associative creativity, increased pattern recognition, and insight. – @JasonSilva

Wiz Khalifa –  In The Cut
Album: Kush & Orange Juice (Mixtape)

Before Wiz blew up with “Black and Yellow”, he was hard at work putting out mixtape tracks for his stoner fanbase. In The Cut is all about chilling and having a good time with your buds (tress and people).
