STREAM EXCLUSIVE ORIGINALS

August Alsina and Lil Wayne Live Lavish in 'Why I Do It'

It's the first offering from 'This Thing Called Life.'

August Alsina is gearing up to drop his sophomore set, This Thing Called Life, sometime this year, and today releases visuals for “Why I Do It.”

August and Lil Wayne look like they don’t have a care in the world. The video, directed by Payne Lindsey, shows viewers the behind the scenes of a typical video shoot. We see them in their dressing rooms, at a mock-up red carpet, and more. The video also provides lyrics of the song so people can follow along.

Check out the video, below.
