This week finds Juicy J and The Weeknd trapped in a strip club robbery, while Travi$ Scott heads to the backwoods with T.I. and 2 Chainz. At the same, The Weeknd scores second appearance on this list alongside Ricky Hil, while Vinny Cha$e flaunts his Benz through New York.

Juicy J feat. The Weeknd - "One Of Those Nights"

Juicy and The Weeknd find themselves in a situation straight out of a George V. Higgins novel in this video. While the story itself makes for a compelling video, it's the expert use of slow pans and the performances by Juice and Weeknd that make "One Of Those Nights" a shoe-in for one of the best vides of the year.

Travi$ Scott feat. T.I. & 2 Chainz - "Upper Echeleon"

Travi$ Scott sure knew how to make a name for himself with his debut video in the director's seat—La Flame channels a mix of Evil Dead and Lord Of The Flies in this bizarre back-woods flick. Apart from the crazy imagery, the video's slow paced editing and smooth Stedicam cinematography make it a visually stimulating piece.

Vinny Cha$e feat. Kid Art - "Hustle"

It's no surprised that the Cheer$ Club crew make it to this list for the video to "Hustle"—as Cha$e explained in his Show N Prove in the last issue of XXL, he does have an extensive video background. Still,  the video for "Hustle" is so well shot that it helps Vinny make Nas' "Affirmative Action" beat into his own song—a rare achievement for any artist who opts to remake any of Nas' classics.

Ricky Hil feat. The Weeknd - "Nomads"

The Weeknd makes his second appearance on this list this week with frequent collaborator Ricky Hil for their cut "Nomads." Unlike Hil's previous Weeknd-directed "Sarah's Song" video, "Nomads" is expertly paced and relies heavily on precise Stedicam shots and a brooding atmosphere.

Prodigy & The Alchemist - "Dough Pildin'"

Prodigy and company keep it gutter in the latest video from his and The Alchemist's recent collaborative album Albert Einstein. Although's a relatively simple visual, it's never the less authentic New York imagery,  back by some killer car shots.
