The 35-year-old half-Dominican American hip-hop artist has released the music video for his latest single “Guess Who’s Bizzack,” his collaboration with Broadway.

Fabolous

Fabolous’ five-minute clip, directed by Joe Puma, begins with a series of photos of people wearing hoodies while supporting “Justice for Trayvon Martin.”

In the black-and-white video, Fabolous depicts a boyfriend who plays shows in Germany. When he arrives home, he notices that his girlfriend is acting like someone else and he confronts her about it. Meanwhile, his girlfriend thinks that her boyfriend is the one who has changed. They’re later shown arguing in a car parked in the snow.

Produced by Mally the Martian, “Guess Who’s Bizzack” is featured in Fabolous’ 2012 mixtape, The Soul Tape 2.

Fabolous is currently working on Loso’s Way 2: Rise to Power, his sixth studio album, which should arrive in stores later this year. The rapper has worked with artists like Chris Brown, Rick Ross, 2 Chainz, John Legend, Future, Ne-Yo, Trey Songz, Young Jeezy and Chrisette Michelle for the upcoming release.

Well, kiss my lips! Dev’s back with a brand new music video…

The 22-year-old Portuguese & Mexican American singer/songwriter—who rose to fame with her hit single “In the Dark,” which peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart—has released the music video for her latest single “Kiss My Lips.”

Dev

Dev, whose legal name is Devin Star Tailes, seduces the camera and sings the lusty lyrics while parading a variety of colorful-painted lip snapshots. Her featured guest, Fabolous, raps while being flanked by two hot-looking ladies.

“Kiss My Lips” is the latest single from Dev’s long-delayed debut album The Night the Sun Came Up, which is set for release in the U.S. on March 26.

“The album is very personal, even like the dancer songs, if you listen to what I’m saying, it’s very personal, but it’s still youthful because I wanted to capture that,” she gushed to PopCrush.

Dev, who gave birth to her first child Emilia Lovely Gorecki on December 9, 2011, plans to embark on a tour to promote the album. She’ll kick it off on March 28 and wrap it up on April 27.

“Even though now I’m embarking on motherhood and marriage and stuff like that it was important for me in this album to reflect the past three years and the journey of everything, and I think the next album will reflect everything I’m going through now, obviously,” she said.
