Best Video: Leikeli47’s “Two Times a Charm”
This Brooklyn rapper’s shout-along anthem is rousing enough on its own, a Missy Elliott update that’s continually flipping from silly to vicious. The video, featuring the always-masked Leikeli47 hanging with her gal pals and confidently predicting your destruction, is perfect. With a popping black-and-white color palette and emphatic visual presentation of the song’s beats, it’s effortlessly, endlessly stylish. Then a soul bridge, delivered by the chillest toddler in the world, lifts its charm-level further still. — JK
