Cast Away$ - Feel My Pain (Official Music Video)
“I’ll be yelling from the roof top, hoping they gon’ hear me, hoping they gon’ feel my pain. But the way that you did me, turned my heart so cold it froze my veins. Like whoa whoa whoa, I can’t let go go go.”
What’s good with y’all? Welcome back the WW Forecast, tonight we cooling it down with some smooth summer time vibes for those to let out some pain. We are fresh off a weekend release from the boys down in Lake Tahoe, the Cast Away$. This has a been a productive year from the trio, with an EP produced by DJ Flipp of the 808 Mafia, multiple singles, and quite a few music videos. They are definitely not slowing down, they hit the gas with another video titled “Feel My Pain,” which is also available on all streaming platforms. The visual for the single was Filmed then Edited by For//You Production, which happens to be the same mastermind behind the Mix and Master for this track, Bozzy.
“Can’t lie girl, you turned me into a fiend. Up all night, baby I can’t even sleep. Wondering how you cut so deep, don’t know what you did to me.'“
The video sets a up a precarious situation where the crew happens to be dealing with the same girl. It’s quite the dilemma as she finesses her way into the hearts of all three. How will they deal with it when the Love Rectangle (not quite a Triangle) comes to a head? That’s for you to find out at the end of the video, however, all three MC’s get a chance to each share the pain they’ve felt from the misleading women of their past. Memories are all we got, so the sources of them are held near and dear to the hearts. It’s hard to not long for the past when things were more sweet than bitter. Sometimes it does not matter how things ended, it’s more about what was built from when it started. It takes a while for our minds to wrap around the fact that all things the glitter, aren’t all gold. Trying to find solace in the separation is a whole new journey, in and of itself. O.D. starts off the record on the hook and with the first verse. Transitioning to Kasper, who shares his perspective on the mishaps of love.
“Babe, maybe we worked in a past life, every time we get together you can never act right.”
Sometimes things don’t work for a reason, it’s the red flags and subtleties that go right under our noses. When you want things to work out, you over look a lot of things that may be important to you subconsciously. However, your mind isn’t easily tricked. The truth will find a way to come out, in action or in expression. When you become privy to the disconnect, you quickly begin to recognize what is causing this undoing. This liberation of not giving a user the advantage over you is something everyone needs to find at their own pace. Once you are ready to accept it, then the healing process exponentially gains traction. Next thing you know, you realize you needed your self and respect more than the dependency of another. Last, to close out the record, $ins takes over to help free the listeners from their pain.
“This shit getting out of hand real fast. I know that this shit hard for you but I’m there for you. Always ride or die for you. I’d cry for you, no more lies for you. But it’s all over now.”
You’ve seen the label on the side of organic peanut butter right? Separation is natural. So when things drift apart, look at it as an opportunity to grow. Acceptance and forgiveness goes a long way. You may never lose all forms of love from that person but you learn to be the bigger person. Allow them to come and go as they please. They can’t take from you, what you don’t give. Set the boundary and focus on yourself. It can get messy, things are said and done that can’t be taken back. The way you internalize it, can be your downfall if you don’t take the time to learn yourself. All three verses have unique ways of making sense of the concept of love. Maybe you don’t have love problems right now, but there is something in this song that will bring up feelings you once had. The body remembers everything, so take the time to acknowledge how far you’ve come or how far you need to go when it comes to healing.
If you haven’t already, go follow Cast Away$ on their IG. You can find everything going on with the group right there. Stay tuned with them and with the weather watcher to see what’s next on the radar.

iLL ZakieL - Drive Featuring Zelda (Official Music Video)
“It’s a cold world but we gotta smile through all the pain, through the droughts, and the rain. Rolling on the old terrains, make it through them dark nights just to get to the brighter days. I been driving all my life, just look at all the ground I’ve gained.”
What’s good everyone? As the week starts up tomorrow, it’s always good to find that motivation to go out there and grind. Providing that soundtrack today is, the Mexico born and Nevada raised MC, iLL ZakieL with his new single “Drive” featuring Zelda. Both artists coming out of Elko, NV, which happens to have a dope music scene going on. Both independent artists, on a 2021 release streak, come together and link up to give their collaboration a video treatment. This happens to be a music video debut for Zelda, who assists on the hook for this record.
iLL ZakieL starts the record off by describing the minutiae of life as an independent artist. As an artist who makes their living solely off of music, his perspective is filled with wisdom. Sharing ideals and morals that helped set him up for success on his path. Despite the hurdles and difficulties he has faced his whole life. Being born in another country, finding your way to another place as a young person is challenging enough. iLL ZakieL is not a stranger to standing out, he embraces it and wears it with pride. Everything he has come to know in life via family or experience that comes with age, has shaped him to the man he is today. The resilience instilled in him translates to the discipline required to build up multiple entrepreneurial ventures related to his craft. Listen closely to learn about his character.
“Engine been idling, push on the gas. Holding the hour glass in my hand. You can do anything you wanna do, tell me why wouldn't you. I got visions really ain’t far sighted. I know most of them can’t feel my shine. In my mind I’ve been in it for life and when they see me they just might go blind.”
Both artists metaphorically speak of their journey as a long drive. Zelda provides smooth, trance inducing vocals to the hook. Giving the record a unique bounce, which causes you to focus in increasingly with every bar. Excellent vibes to have in your ear while doing something productive. The perseverance is long and the trip is as long as it’s meant to be for you. You are to trust in that you will be able to find the momentum to get yourself to where you want to be if you want it bad enough. If you are willing to work at it, day in and day out. In the second verse, iLL ZakieL describes the feeling of seeing small victories. Keeping his head up through the hard times eventually starts to pay off. Acknowledge those wins and give yourself credit as it was earned properly. Trial and error turns into execution. Regardless of how good you are doing, don’t get complacent with it. Stay ready for anything life can throw your way.
“Ain’t a damn thing falling on your lap. Know you gotta strategize, execute, and attack. Keep it moving everyday push forward, never backwards. If you let that fear win, you headed for disaster.”
In the last verse, iLL reminds listeners that whatever you do, it’s going to require you to always work at it. Once you have found your purpose or calling, it’s easy to never give it up. Regardless of how far you go, the pride and satisfaction comes from the dedication you have to it. If you are blessed enough to maintain and exhibit continued growth at any rate, then you are successful in your own right. To anyone who is making their way, keep your head up and treat everything as a learning experience. The humble way is the most genuine way. No matter what your situation is or was, your character is only judged by the way you respond to it. When you’re behind that wheel, no one can tell you how you need to drive. You just believe in yourself enough to do it.
Go stream this record and support both artists involved. Stay tuned as both have plenty more between the two of them coming out soon. Run it up!

Juziah - Go Crazy (Official Music Video)
What’s good everyone? The WW radar is detecting some new heat coming from the No Town spitter, Juziah. Starting off the summer right with a new single titled “Go Crazy.” Along with the release on all streaming platforms, the listeners are blessed with a set of visuals for the record. If there’s one thing you need to know about Juziah, it’s that he’s going to have a pretty lady around him. This time around it’s no different as he finds himself and his boys surrounded by a group of them for a photoshoot. With nothing but good vibes and good company, it’s a guaranteed good time.
“Go, go, go crazy. Go dumb, so plump, so cakey. Throw it back, you a snack, so tasty. Make it clap for the snap, go on, shake it.”
Whatever the setting is, Juziah takes notice to the confident women. It’s not his job to judge or tell you how to live. He wants to see all the strong, beautiful women thrive in their element. He’s not interested in holding you back or tying you down, but rather uplift your self esteem. Encouraging you to just do your thing regardless of what people think. Now that the weather is warm, the vibes are on: sun’s out, buns out. Juziah provides the perfect soundtrack for them to show out. The song starts off with the infectious hook that immediately gets the listeners to bounce along with. The beat itself amplifies the cadence of Juziah’s words. The unique instrumental contains multiple drops, throughout the track, that leave enough room for his vocals to fill in space as an instrument of its own.
“Yeah, okay I’m looking at your butt, don’t blame me. I mean for real, can you blame me? She said ‘everybody stare, I don’t care. Don’t phase me.’ Shake it every fucking where, don’t care, don’t play me.”
Juziah is honest as can be, he acknowledges the beauty in all women. Kid Cudi once said it best: so many colors and sizes, so many surprises. There’s enough love for those on the whole spectrum. This song is for all women to join in on and feel themselves. If no one else gon’ hype you up then let Juziah help you do that. Even dudes can join cause the song is a slap itself. Get this one going in the function and you might just turn that thing out. I wouldn’t be mad if I seen a couple #GoCrazy challenges on my timeline. This could one of the songs to blow on social media.
“She said ‘fuck them other bitches, they just bummy and they mad.’ Cause her booty getting thicker and her tummy looking flat. Baby you know that I love it when it shake. She be petty with the booty, yeah, she rub it in your face. Fill the whole damn tank when she sipping on the drank and the only time she Chase, when she going to the bank.”
I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T, do you know what that means? Juziah is here to celebrate women who get up and get their shit handled. When you work as hard as you do or shoulder heavy weight from life, then you deserve to be celebrated. No one can tell you nothing. Juziah doesn’t hold a gavel, he won’t judge you. You might as well run up a bag even if it makes somebody mad. Show out and go off queen, nobody can tell you different. So feel free to crazy and let loose. Be sure to follow Juziah on IG, link below, and stay tuned from more music coming from him this Summer. You might just be able to find the @ for a couple of those cameo’d in the video (don’t lie, you were wondering). Don’t forget to share this with someone who deserves to go crazy or just wants good music. When playing this in the load, it’s windows down and volume up!

The Inner Club (Ep. 5): dARTh Tone
Freshly released, is the latest episode of withthevisuals YouTube series “The Inner Club” featuring dARTh Tone. Directed by Alfred Leon and Hosted by Luke ZBella; filmed on site at Cody C Music Studios. This episode was unique, the first where an artist dedicates the performance and attendance to a certain cause. Tone takes the time to spread awareness on depression and addiction. An issue that hits close to home for a lot of people in his life. A sentiment that I can definitely appreciate, as having a past of substance abuse growing up. The effects of which have taken a toll on me mentally. To this day witnessing loved ones going through it still.
This dedication segues to the live performance of an exclusive premiere titled “Ways Away.” A song that speaks for itself and shows the honest side of Tone. Getting very open and accountable about the difficulties he faces in his own life. Using his platform to show others its okay to embrace your scars and to not hold in the hard feelings you are feeling. An amazing song overall, that will definitely be replayed in the future over here. After the brief set, the show then transitions to Luke ZBella’s discussion with the artist with a commercial.
The commercial happens to be for a Reno, NV clothing brand “Till The Veins Run Dry” which stars their sponsored athlete fighters as they train. The commercial features the late Khase Kollins (s/o the first WW) with his record titled “One Fry.” The portion of the song used in it, contains lyrics that inspired the clothing brand’s name. Be sure to check out ttvrd.com and support a small business. Their products are of high quality. Trust me, I would know. Currently typing this in their clothing, totally by accident, by the way. The next portion of the video is definitely just as honorable.
The two touch on a variety of topics, such as the origin of Tone’s name, the background of Vaded Nation, his friendship with Khase, appreciation for those who came before him, his background in his city’s music scene, current promotions, plans for the future, and more. I can’t give the whole menu away, go watch and learn about the artist behind the dope music. After watching this, tap in with our socials and let us know what you thought. Check below for some of his top tracks on Spotify. His body of work is very good and the pen is well composed.

Savybalboa - Ándale (Official Music Video)
What’s good everyone? It’s the 11th of June, under the summer night moon. So you know it’s only right we kick off the evening with some vibes that are going to keep it easy going. Who better else than the one and only Savybalboa. The FNM x NFL spitter blessed his listeners last week on the 4th with his latest visual for the August 2020 single titled “Andale.” In the hook, Savy puts his own twist on Nelly’s “E.I.” and shares the story of a fly guy.
When the energy is undeniable, you are liable to attract attention. Whether it be wanted or not. In Savy’s case, it’s nothing new. However, at this point in his life, he comes to learn that these things may be distractions to his own goals. To the ladies, he can give you want you asking for be he can’t stay long. He’s married to the grind and you can’t fault him for having his heart set on the bag. If you lucky to get a moment to be in the presence of the fly, then you might just get done right. No feelings being caught, when there’s a flight to catch.
Even when you about your paper, you might run into people faking the hustle. Sometimes it’s the dudes around you, flexing on you but have nothing to back it up. Pay them no mind, there’s no competing with fools. If they aren’t getting money with you or haven’t been there since day 1 then it has no effect on you. Protecting that energy is a major key to this lifestyle. Everything else is water under the bridge. Don’t fuck around let it take you under. At just under the 2 minute mark, the song itself is a reminder to not leave your girl around Savy cause the vibes are naturally player. If she choose up then chalk it up to the game.
Watch the video above and follow Savy on IG to see what he’s cooking up next.
