G-Eazy Debuts "Been On"

posted in: Music News • Pop • Urban

California native G-Eazy is kicking off what is promising to be a busy fall promotional run with the release of a new single entitled “Been On.”

It’s been a good summer for G-Eazy. In addition to touring alongside Lil Wayne, the Must Be Nice rapper has been putting the final touches on his long-awaited debut album. “Been On” is likely not an album cut, as it was released with zero warning as a free download, but it does showcase an evolution in Eazy’s sound. The ’50s-inspired pop themes that helped him rise to prominence have been replaced by a more modern hip-hop influence, and that is certainly not a bad thing. You can hear the track and view the official video at the end of this post.

Directed by Bobby Bruderle, the video for Been On features G-Eazy in a classic pose while lighting a blunt in super slow motion. Inspired by still photography, the video attempts to create a series of fluid images that also function as still photos.

G-Eazy has not revealed his album plans at this time, but we’ve heard that will be changing soon. Stay tuned for updates.
