The Video:
Chi-town's L.E.P. Bogus Boys are no strangers to hard work. And so during a recent trip to NYC spent promoting their recently released Now Or Neva mixtape, Count and Moonie invited video directors Gregory Buissereth and Corey Davis to tag along and catch the guys in action as they made their rounds with media outlets including Complex, MTV, Shade45, XXL, The Source, and FADER, among others. The result is a brand new visual for their latest single, "We Want Our Money."
"We were just working," explains the Chi-town duo, "going to all the media outlets, and at first we were just going to use the footage for promo." The video footage came out so well, though, and fit the theme of the song so well, that L.E.P. decided to release the visual as an official video. "As our camera man started editing, it was like, this shit would be a sick video," notes L.E.P. "With the work we're putting in grinding, we're sending a message that when we work hard, we want our money!"

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.
