10 Must-See Videos by New York-area Hip Hop Artists [January 2012]

French Montana, Charlie Rock – Shot Caller

Whether or not you think Lords of The Underground rocked this sample better, there’s no denying that the French Montana stock rose as this joint started hitting airwaves. Based on the cameos alone, it’s clear that the now Bad Boy-backed French Montana is winning the co-sign game for the moment. While not being highlighted for being anything particularly groundbreaking, the video is nonetheless a solid effort and worthy representation of a New York-based, street-oriented artist who has outgrown his regional buzz and landed on the national stage.
