Skylar Grey swings through a Detroit-area trailer park in the video for “C’mon Let Me Ride,” the first single from her upcoming debut Don’t Look Down. The singer-songwriter is joined by her co-star Eminem and some of the residents, who introduce themselves and cook up a squirrel on the grill.

“Why does everyone think I’m from a fu**ing trailer park? Why can’t I not break that stereotype?” laughs Em. “I’ve lived in them, many of them, for years. But that doesn’t mean I’m from a trailer park.”

The full video will premiere on December 11. Go behind the scenes below.

Skylar Grey has a new look, new sound, and a new single called “C’mon Let Me Ride.” The playful tune, which samples Queen’s 1978 hit “Bicycle Race,” was produced by Alex Da Kid and features a verse from Eminem, who has also signed on to executive produce her debut Don’t Look Down, due next spring.

“The song is something totally unexpected from me,” said Skylar. “Sometimes I can’t even believe that it came out of my mouth.”

A video was shot in Detroit last month, while the song will hit iTunes on December 11. Listen to the radio rip below.

50 Cent is on the run in the action-packed video for “My Life,” the new single off his fifth album Street King Immortal. The hip-hop titan and his mentor Eminem play fugitives, running from the law as helicopters chase them. The Rich Lee-directed clip, which co-stars Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine, was inspired by life in the spotlight. Super middleweight boxing contender Andre Dirrell also makes a cameo.

“The video is kind of abstract; it’s kind of metaphoric in a sense, like the paranoia of feeling like we’re being chased,” Eminem told MTV News on set in Detroit last month. “Whether it’s true or not, it’s kind of how we feel. It’s kind of a metaphor for us running for our lives. Personal lives and from fame, everything that goes with the game.”

Street King Immortal is due February 26.
