Taio Cruz wakes up after a night of drunken escapades in his new video for “Hangover” inspired by the movie. The British singer has flashbacks of his wild evening, where he drove down Sunset Boulevard in a boat filled with hot chicks and partied on a plane with Flo Rida. Comedian Bobby Lee plays his crazy assistant, who dresses as a monkey and drinks from baby bottles.

“The general concept of the video is just full on madness,” explained Taio. “We have had the most insane party and no one really remembers what happened, so we have to have flashbacks to try and remind us as to what happened the night before.”

“Hangover” is the first single from Taio’s new album TY.O, due December 6.

He may be traveling the world and racking up platinum hits, but Flo Rida’s life wasn’t always glamorous. The “Low” rapper takes us back to his old stomping grounds of Carol City, Florida, in the first episode of his web series, “There’s Only One Flo.” He recalls what it was like to grow up in a rough environment, visiting the 187 Street Apartments where he lived with his mother and seven sisters, and his alma mater of Miami Carol City High School.

“You would probably walk out your door and realize you got a SWAT team on the roof. After gun shots ring out, you go to your mailbox and you see bullet holes everywhere,” remembers Flo. “Being born and raised in that environment, you wouldn’t really be that fearful because you was born and raised there.”

Flo’s new album Only 1 Rida (Part 2), featuring the Etta James-sampled single “Good Feeling,” is due later this year.

“Clearing the sample was just amazing!” Flo tells Rap-Up.com. “I felt like if we had to do anything different to the record, it probably would’ve taken away from it, but to actually clear the record and hear the outcome is just a blessing. I thank God.”
