Bobby Brackins, Ty Dolla $ign and Nic Nac are the holy trinity of West Coast songwriting. At the top of the year, they teamed up to release “Faithful,” a club-ready single about temptation. Today, Bobby and Ty spotlight the nightlife of East Oakland in the neon-lit new video for “Faithful,” featuring cameos from Tinashe and G-Eazy. In the new video, Brackins convinces a ladyfriend to leave her peacefully sleeping boyfriend to galavant around the hills and tunnels of San Francisco and Oakland under a moonlit sky.

This past Friday, the Grammy-nominated songwriter/rapper released To Live For…, the first part of a trilogy of EPs entitled To Live For…, To Kill For…, and To Die For… .

Bassy, Wash, and his budding artist, Mina.
