New MV: August Alsina Teases New Album ‘This Thing Called Life’ With “Song Cry”

August Alsina makes a return to the scene with an emotionally captivating clip titled “Song Cry” which serves as the trailer to his forthcoming album This Thing Called Life. In the video, the R&B singer reflects as people congregate at a funeral. “Sometimes I just cry and cry and cry. But every rose needs the rain, there’s so much pain that lies beside my eyes like my brothers tragic demise, these tears I just cant hide. I cry because every rose needs the rain, because some things money can’t change like my life and all this fame,” he recites. The video includes clips from both the Ferguson riots and August’s infamous incident where he fainted during a show. Earlier this year August released the singles “Hip-Hop” and “Why I Do It” featuring Lil Wayne. August’s sophomore album This Thing Called Life is due later this year. Check out August Alsina’s
