August Alsina Doesn’t Hold Back On His Haters In “Grindin'” Video

After he took to Twitter last night (Oct. 29) to promise new music at midnight, singer and 2014 XXL Freshman August Alsina delivered on his promise by not only releasing a new song, but releasing an accompanying video for the song as well.

In "Grindin'" August doesn't hold back his emotions. August speaks on all of the people who were hating on him throughout this tumultuous time in his life, most notably with his well-documented health issues, saying things such as "a lot of these lames kept hatin' on a nigga/when I took a little fall, you were steppin' on a nigga," but also shouts out all of his supporters by saying "everybody who was checkin for a nigga, and were hopin' for a nigga/I appreciate your prayers, I respect you my nigga." August also refers to his coma ordeal outright by saying "I just got out of a coma, it showed me that when God is for me, no weapon can hold me," and also talks about the response he gave the doctor who told him that he was exhausted, saying that he "can't stop" and that "he's never gonna quit."

The majority of the video finds August outside in the darkness, with brief cuts to barrels filled with flames. The darkness of the video serves as an appropriate setting for a song that is filled with the type of deep, heartfelt content August is taking on in the song.

No word on what project this track is off of. Watch the video for "Grindin'" above, and read our review of August's most recent album, Testimony here.
