New Video: L.A. Leakers – “FaceTime” Feat. Eric Bellinger, Wale & AD [WATCH]

Our “FaceTime” single has made a lot of noise since being released back in September and been played at different clubs around the world, featured in different ad campaigns, including a recent Fashionova social media post. It’s only right we gathered Eric Bellinger, Wale, and AD for the video, which was shot in the Hollywood Hills.

Shooting the video was as fun as the video looks. Upon arriving at the location for the shoot in the Hollywood Hills the scene was set and everyone was already in character. The video starts with AD and our video girl Jade Ramey, who killed her part. Jade, goes on to replicate her scenes with E, before doing a sexy shower scene that is guarenteed to have you drooling.

Watch the video below and stay tuned for more L.A. Leakers’ singles and videos to follow. We are the culture and will continue to push it.

Who’s Dropping: New Releases In December [PEEP]

With December in full effect, the year is quickly dwindling down. The fourth quarter has came and while many artists have made a push to leave their mark on 2017 with releases earlier in the year, other artists have waited to the end. Projects that have been rumored are finally coming to fruition and artists that have remained mum are finally ready to share their latest body of work.

The majority of the year has been filled with speculation and rumors of a new Eminem album, which we will finally get this month. N*E*R*D also made headlines in early November when they performed their entire new album at ComplexCon. While many expected the group to drop immediately after the performance, they kept fans waiting. Others like G-Eazy and Jeezy have taken their time to perfect their latest offering which will be released on the same day as Em and N*E*R*D.

December is a month for many that brings gifts and if you are a fan of the culture, you will definitely be blessed with plenty of gifts, in the form of new music.

See everyone dropping a new project this month to end the year on a high.
