So you know how in America Beyoncé and Jay-Z are a big celebrity couple? In Slovakia and the Czech Republic they have they own R&B/Rap power couple: Dara Rolins and Rytmus. The hot pair are in all the gossip mags in Prague and Bratislava and this new video from Dara is only going to add fuel to the fire because she is nearly naked in the entire clip for "Stále Dokola." The video must have been shot last year because there was a TV commercial featuring the same sexy shots in the pool, but the promo just dropped two days ago. Yes, men, Rytmus is sleeping with her. Yes, girls, feel free to hate Dara. Next up is a clip I had to go all the way to China to find, Tina & Tomi Popovič's hot "Mám Ta V Hlave." You simply will not be able to see this clip anywhere on Vimeo or You Tube in America. But you will see it here on Europopped. Tomi actually worked with Dara before, most notably on 2011's "Nebo Peklo Raj." Check both new clips below.

Someone at the L.A. Times really needs to write a story on the increase in music video production in Southern California by EU and Eastern European musicians, because it's for sure on the upswing, friends. Case in point? Two new clips from Czech artists were recently shot in L.A., specifically Hollywood and nearby environs. First up is a new promo by a guy we've written about before several times, Ben Cristovao. For his new "Mine," remixed by Toronto's Glowsticks, the Prague player hits Hollywood and hits it hard. Good looking clip/cool song. Next up is a video by a DJ/producer who is new to me by the name of Michael Burien. Don't know too much about him, but he, too, hightailed it to near Hollywood (actually Beverly Hills) to film his clip, which just dropped days ago. According to Evropa2, the cost of shooting the second video you'll see below, "Beautiful Love," topped $115,000, and was one of the most expensive Czech clips in recent memory.  They were also almost arrested during filming, evropa2 reported (it all turned out ok in the end). Check both clips below.

If you have any Czech friends who like any kind of music on Facebook, chances are you have seen or will see the video below, "Ženy Treba Ľúbiť." The track is by two big names from the Slovak/Czech Republic rap scene that is so strong, it is pop music in this part of Europe. DJ Wich is the man behind the music, providing beats and production as strong as any American producer of note (as we've detailed before on this blog). Majk Spirit is not only a rapper these days, but a bona fide sex symbol in Prague and Bratislava, where he's from, much the same way Drake is with the ladies in America and Canada. Together, Wich and Spirit are all but unstoppable in this new viral video that boasts exceptional lighting and a plot to keep females interested throughout. There's more chemistry between Majk and the female lead of this video than 90% of Hollywood movies out today. Really well done promo by newcomers Cinq Visuals. Fun fact: Spirit is one of the few hip-hop artists in Slovakia or the Czech Republic with an MBA. Smart and sexy!

Remember four months ago when we shared with you Czech rapper guNy's great song/clip "Dreams?" Well, he's back with another jam and this time he samples one of Lady Gaga's best tracks, "LoveGame." guNy is from the third largest city in the Czech Republic, Ostrava, and he's one of the top rising talents in the Czech Republic in the rap arena. Check out his latest below.

Ok this is awesome. Prague-based act Toxique has enlisted Ewa Farna for a song and video called "Toxique Girls" and it's going to make your Sunday. Farna is Czech but is actually bigger in Poland, where she's become a major star for teens and twentysomethings (she recently won honors at a the Viva Coment Awards, for example). But here, she's sharing the love with Czech electronica act Toxique, who I guess she must be friends with. Written about Toxique before on this blog and they are so under rated. Check out the fresh-sounding brand new offering below. Big like.
