August Alsina shares new “Lied To You” music video

Last month, August Alsina returned to the music scene with his latest single, “Lied To You.” Over the weekend, the New Orleans-bred artist enhanced the release by sharing the official accompanying music video. The new clip is directed by MarkMark and puts the spotlight on a group of professional dancers who move to the song’s sensual instrumental. On the track, Alsina sings about overcoming life’s hurdles:

“If they tell you I stay with the bang gang, then they tellin’ the truth, if they tellin’ you some of the fame changed me, they tellin’ the truth/ If they tell you that I ain’t 100, n***a, then they lied to you, still got the mud on my shoes/ They just talkin’, I done been through it, where I’m from these n***as been shootin'”

Alsina’s last full-length release was 2020’s The Product III: stateofEMERGEncy, which boasted 27 tracks with additional features from Darrel Walls, Tink, Yo Gotti, Lil Wayne, and Juicy J. The album was also accompanied by a five-part docuseries titled “The Rise of August Alsina,” which gave fans an inside look into how he navigates his relationships, career, and battle with an autoimmune disease.

In a recent conversation, the “I Luv This S**t” singer provided an update on how he is feeling about the forthcomimg opportunities in his life. “I’m in the space in life where the possibilities are endless because, like I said, it’s like when you move beyond fear and you see what’s on the other side of it after you’re scared s**tless or whatever, there’s so many gifts on the other side of it,” he said. “Once you go through it and you realize, ‘Oh, okay, I’m still alive. I survived it. Now what?'”
