Video: Natalie Storm, “God Bless Me”
We knew Kingston dancehall princess Natalie Storm was awesome (see: talent, starpower, charisma, ill riddim possibly named after snacks), but we had no clue she could also levitate. In her long-awaited video for “God Bless Me” she also proves herself to be the latex queen of the Matrix, stomping out some serious ninja ass and taking over multilingual billboards, too. Big ups to the TNT ladies! (via the Heatwave)

Freeload: Tifa, “Without Warning” MP3
- story THE FADER
Our best lady chatta Tifa, of the irrefutable TNT/Badda Badda Gals (watch our most recent video with them above), consistently invents creative ways to refer to her chocha, retaining her dirty-dirty but flipping metaphors so the sex references don’t thud like a blunt instrument. We can think of like five rappers, male and female, in America who should be studying this approach. For “Without Warning,” though, she’s a little sunnier, mellower and poppier—welcome sunshine on a day when it feels like we’re in summer’s doghouse.

Video Premiere: Tifa, “Spell it Out”
- story THE FADER
Kingston’s Badda Badda Gals aka TNT aka Timberlee, Natalie Storm and Tifa have been blasting on the FADER megahorn since they individually released tracks on Ward 21’s Dem Gal Sittin riddim. As much as we love them as a trio, we are happy to see them breaking out individually because, do the math, that equals triple the awesome kicky dancehall. This video for Tifa’s “Spell it Out” expresses her badness: tough chatter, playful lyrics, everything pops. However, we must note that the guy with the necktie headband is the clear runner-up for star of this video.

Video: TNT aka Badda Badda Gals at the Levi’s®/FADER Fort NYC
- story THE FADER
We knew TNT would be excellent after we kicked it with them on our radio show, but we weren’t quite prepared for the inextinguishable firestorm our fave Jamaican ladies brought to their FADER-exclusive CMJ performance. Longtime BFFs, TNT—Tifa, Natalie Storm and Timberlee—toasted, deejayed, joked, sang, rapped and wine’ded a grip of special cuts from their catalog, with Max Glazer on decks, playing the Eddie Murphy role to their Dream Girls, only without all the megadrama. Their charisma was outtasight, their jokes were excellently funny, and one of our editors is half-considering moving to Kingston to become their full-time hype chick. In this video, they’re performing the jams that blew them out the water (effectively christening them the “Badda Badda Gals”) and into your faces: their versions for Ward 21’s “Dem Gal Sittin” riddim, with Timberlee’s “Stress Free,” Tifa’s “Crawny Gal,” and Natalie Storm’s “Anuh My Fault.” JUST LIKE IT’S ANUH YR FAULT IF YOU START LOVING TNT AFTER WATCHING THIS VIDEO! Wah waaahhh.
