August Alsina featuring Rick Ross - Benediction

Less than 24 hours after receiving the “Best New Artist” award at the BET Awards, August Alsina drops off the video for his Rick Ross collaboration, “Benediction.” The New Orleans singer and the MMG boss are both reflective and triumphant on “Benediction,” with each thankful for the fruits of their labor and the luxuries of their lifestyle yet still mindful of the squalor they arose from. The visual impression reflects the brighter side of what they speak of. Its locale is sunny and sacred, filled with bristling greenery and religious imagery. You can check out the video for “Benediction” above.
