Chris Brown was back in action, shooting a video for his club anthem “Turn Up the Music” on Wednesday (Feb. 1) in Los Angeles. The R&B superstar performed double duty, co-directing and starring in the dance-heavy clip, which he called his best video yet.

“I’ll let you guys judge but this Turn Up the music video hands down is probably my best video by far!!!” he told Team Breezy.

Several photos from the shoot surfaced online. Breezy was photographed in the passenger seat of a classic car in one scene, standing shirtless on top of a vehicle with his hipster crew in another. Dancers covered their faces with wild masks and hip-hop trio The Rej3ctz made a cameo before the shoot wrapped around 4 a.m. on Thursday.

The electro-dance record, written and produced by The Underdogs and Fuego, serves as the second single from Chris’ fifth album Fortune, due this spring.

Fat Joe and Chris Brown brought Egypt to the beaches of Southern California while shooting the Colin Tilley-directed video for “Another Round.” The Bronx rapper showed off his slimmed-down physique and a blond Breezy rocked the sold-out Versace for H&M velvet bomber jacket, also worn by Kanye West, Swizz Beatz, and Diggy Simmons. The fellas were surrounded by pyramids and beach babes as they performed scenes in the sand.

Joey Crack explained how his smooth collaboration with Chris came together. “I’ve known him for years and we toured together in Africa and he was like, ‘We gotta do something.’ I’m like, ‘You are the hottest ni**a in the game right now; why wouldn’t I want to do something with you?’” he told Rap-Up.com. “He always told me that for years but at the time, he was like 15, 16 and just so young. I was like, ‘Yo, it wouldn’t even be right.’ But now he’s a grown ass man, so it makes sense.”
