    LA Love The Boss released her debut single “Monkey” in May 2021, and fans have been anxiously awaiting its music video since. An ode to female empowerment and sizzling summer energy, the “Monkey” music video exclusively premiered at her release party in Atlanta on June 30th. Following the premiere, LA Love The Boss listeners everywhere will be able to stream the highly anticipated production on YouTube. In the video, we can expect to see LALoveTheBoss’ bold dance moves on full display.

    “My new video for ‘Monkey’ is bananas and it can’t be a monkey without a jungle,” said LA Love The Boss. “The concept of the music video is just a lot of flavor. It’s us just being in our natural essence as women. I really just stepped out of my comfort zone.”

    Filmed in Los Angeles and Burbank, the video was inspired by the digitized, green screen world of arcade games. The concept of the video, which follows LA Love The Boss through a series of virtual reality-like experiences, perfectly combines head-turning colors and unapologetic sexual innuendos. The neon visuals and cartoon-like aesthetic will make you feel like you stepped straight into the world of an M-rated video game in the best way.

    Much of the visuals are thanks to costume designer Lor-e Philips, who dressed LALoveTheBoss in stand-out ensembles. The “Monkey” music video was directed by Karla Escobar, and the creative concept was thought up by Steve Nguyen, Alease Garrett, and LA Love The Boss all of which helped bring the lyrics to life on camera. Catch the release of the “Monkey” music video starting June 30, 2021, on YouTube. Stream “Monkey” now on Spotify, Apple Music, and other streaming platforms.

  • Discussion about Immigration and the Crisis at the US Border with Winston Taylor

    Send us Fan Mail

    My Name is Winston Taylor, and I previously worked for a private company that provided services to the Federal Government.  In this role I was able to interact with multiple agencies that administered and enforced immigration laws.  I was able to work alongside officers that worked for CIS, ICE, and, Border Patrol.  I have since changed careers and now work in the private sector.  However, I still want to have a positive impact on the immigration system in the United States.  Because of that I volunteer with multiple organizations that provide information to the public, and to government agencies and private sector.   


    My goal is to educate Americans so that they understand the basics of immigration law.  I found that it is much more productive to have serious discussions about immigration issues when both sides are as informed as possible.
