After giving us part 1 of her 3-part EP series “Off The Burner“ with “The Warm Up,” Miami-based singer AdELA is back with visuals for “Red Rose” –a cut off of the aforementioned first EP.

The Ross Lindgren-directed video shows the beautiful singer-songwriter strutting through the streets of Miami, Florida, singing about keeping focus on making her dreams into reality. AdELA’s music helps us feel like we can accomplish anything and get through all the trials and tribulations we come across daily.

Expect to see AdELA in the next several weeks, as she drops more videos and parts 2 and 3 of her Off The Burner mixtape series. In addition to watching the “Red Rose” video below, be sure to give her 1st of 3 mixtapes — The Warm Up — a spin as well.

J. Cole is no stranger to holding back music videos. His deeply heartfelt and personal “Lost Ones” clip didn’t see the light of day for years, and apparently he had an additional video in the stash. This time, in honor the 5-year anniversary of The Warm Up, Cole unleashes the video to a standout cut of his, “Lights Please.” The song was such a fan favorite that Cole ended up putting it on his debut, but it will forever be known as a Warm Up song. The video has been in the cut since 2008 and, according to Cole, he hadn’t even seen the final version until premiering it on RapFix. Watch the video below and read a letter from Jermaine to the fans.
