VIDEO: CUBIC ZIRCONIA-TAKE ME HIGH

Cubic Zirconia’s Nick Hook sent this video over to us today and before I even pressed play, I knew it would be entertaining. I mean come on, have you seen the vid for F*Ck Work? They never disappoint. The group (newly signed to Fool’s Gold Records) performed “Take Me High” at our CMJ showcase and the crowd went crazy. In this video the lovely Tiombe hits the stage with the ill choreography and shuts it out.  Props!

VIDEO-CUBIC ZIRCONIA F/ BILAL-NIGHT OR DAY (CZ CLUB MIX)

Cubic Zirconia just released the video for “Night or Day” featuring Bilal. This single is a bit mellow compared to their previous work but it’s equally as dope and piques fans’ interest for the direction their music is heading. The imagery really captures New York and Tiombe looks great. We’re looking forward to their new album, Follow Your Heart, out this summer.
