The Video:
Next week, on April 2nd, L.E.P. Bogus Boys will release a collaborative EP with fellow Chitown-reppers The Hood Internet. The project, TEHO, will clock in at eight songs, with The Hood Internet remixing and mashing-up a collection L.E.P. stand-out tracks released over the past few years. Before then, the duo of Count & Moonie are excited to release the latest visual from their Now Or Neva mixtape, "Claim My Shit."
"Claim My Shit" is one of the most aggressive tracks from Now Or Neva, and the video, shot by Gregory Buissreth, who also shot "We Want Our Money," is fittingly grimy, mixing performance clips of the guys in different hoods around the city with pictures of notorious Chicago gangsters. "Artists from other cities try to claim culture that's not theirs," explain L.E.P. on the inspiration behind the song and video. "This is just a message: it's not so easy to claim our culture. Either you're really part of it, or you're not; it's not a fashion statement."

The Background:
The L.E.P. Bogus Boys, comprised of emcees Count and Moonie, first garnered attention with independent releases Gang Bang Muzik and their Don't Feed Da Killaz mixtape series. The third installment in that series, released Halloween 2010, brought the Southside Chicago duo their first taste of national acclaim, with write-up's from MTV News, XXL Magazine, The Source, and more, along with video rotation on MTV Jams and BET. A year later, on Halloween 2011, L.E.P. returned with their latest effort, the DJ Green Lantern-hosted Now Or Neva, which is available for free download through L.E.P.'s website. In early 2012, the mixtape will receive a non-DJ re-release at retail, with a collection of added songs that feature Rick Ross, Bun B, Mobb Deep, 2 Chainz, and more.
