The Video:
On July 17th, Pittsburgh, California, rapper A-Wax will release his new album, Everybody Loves Me: Chapter 1. The project, which includes features from French Montana, Styles P., Mistah FAB, and more, and as release date approaches, Wax is excited to release the album's lates visual, for the track "Yeah Right."
"'Yeah Right' came about from riding with YG Hootie and Brick Squad Monopoly, and seeing how far some people go to be down with them," explains A-Wax, who's no stranger to the hanger-ons himself, having spent time around plenty of them as a part of Akon's Konvict Muzik. "One of them even started a 'Brick Squad Mafia,' and a lot of people don't even know that it's not real," he adds, laughing as he litters humorous lines throughout the song to drive home his point. "Don't know her name, letting me rub on her booty," he raps. "Fronting like she ain't only come to meet Hootie."
Wax wrote the song while hanging out with Brick Squad during Drake's recent Club Paradise Tour, and so, it was only natural for the visual to reflect that time, put together using a collection of in-studio footage and behind-the-scenes shots from his time on the tour that includes cameos from Waka Flocka, French Montana, Whoo Da Kid, Ty Dolla $ign, YG Hootie, and more.

The
Background:
A lot of rappers make music about the penitentiary. Few can say that they learned their craft while incarcerated. Having emerged after a lengthy stretch in the prison system during his teenage years, A-Wax turned to rap and came up in the game old-fashioned way, selling CDs hand-to-hand and through Mom & Pop stores across the region. The hard work has paid off -- A-Wax has moved over 200,000 units, independently, no small feat, and the accomplishment eventually led to a deal with Akon's Konvict Muzik label. A-Wax and Akon ultimately went their seperate ways, due to creative differences, and now A-Wax is back on the independent grind, with a new album, Everybody Loves Me: Chapter 1. The album, which includes features from French Montana, Styles P., Mistah FAB, and more, will be released July 17th via Illburn Records.
