There quite a few musicians who look like they be brothers or sisters, and even some that look practically identical. You pretty much can’t watch a Toro y Moi video on YouTube without seeing at least a few people make a Donald Glover (Childish Gambino) related joke in the comment section. So we wondered what it would be like if some of these doppelgangers got in the studio and actually made a song together. Check out our list of the five musician doppelgangers that need to work together, with some that could maybe happen one day and some which definitely aren’t as likely.
Some say music videos are a lost art. With MTV and VH1 airing more reality TV programs than actual music videos, it is no surprise that a lot of artists have abandoned the music video route of promotion. Not all artists fortunately. A lot of big artists know that fans crave visuals, even if they are streaming it from their phone or iPad. And a lot of emerging artists know that dope visuals going viral are a great way to gain exposure and put your name on the map. For our best music videos of 2015 (so far), which include selections from Raury, Childish Gambino, Kanye, WebsterX and more, we have a mix of both. Check out our picks and see who got our number one spot.

Last night, Chaz Bundick (Toro y Moi) performed a energy filled DJ set to a sold out Chicago crowd at Smart Bar through his electronic dance moniker, Les Sins. Chaz performed a number of tracks from his new Les Sins album Michael, including its lead single ‘Bother’, as well as a number of mixes, from Justin Timberlake to Ciara. Check out our photos below and purchase Michael now on iTunes.
With the release of the album Michael, Les Sins (Chaz Bundick/Toro y Moi) delivers his video for “Why” feat. Nate Salman (one of Michael‘s best tracks). The colorful video, by XLVI, has Nate and a computerized Chaz dancing to the upbeat track. Check out our review for Michael (out now) and watch the video for the album’s second single below. Also be sure to catch Chaz on tour this fall!
It is a personal, deep rooted, almost religious belief of mine that Chaz Bundick, more popularly known as Toro Y Moi, is one of the few people on the planet that can musically do no wrong. With his latest release under his dance-house moniker, Les Sins, Chaz continues to prove my theory with a release that might lack in innovation, but makes up for it in quality withhis first dance project, Michael.
