Austin Mahone Premieres New Music Video with Sage The Gemini

Austin Mahone released his music video "Put It On Me" featuring rapper Sage the Gemini exclusively on Apple Music. The video is solely in black and white taking place in a skylit room with patterned walls that accentuate the nonexistent color in the video. Mahone dances with a beautiful girl throughout most of the song after he plugs into the recording of "Put It On Me." Sage the Gemini makes a brief appearance for his solo verse and combines with Mahone at the end of the video. Though the rapper is present, the focus is on the vibes between Mahone and his sexy female partner, as they dance on and around each other for most of the scenes. The video definitely shows an attempt at a maturing side of Mahone since he appeared on Taylor Swift's Red Tour a few years back. For the fans, look to see a progression similar to Justin Bieber's growth in the coming years for the young pop star.

EXCLUSIVE: The Vamps Talk About Touring & More in Q&A

View fullsize

The Vamps performing in Boston, MA on August 17th, 2014 (Benjamin Esakof/Roman's Rap-Up).

We recently did an EXCLUSIVE Q&A session with British-upcomers The Vamps (who are also on tour with Austin Mahone). 

Read the Q&A below:

Q: So you guys aren't from the U.S, what's it like touring in another country?

A: It’s a lot of fun here! We are used to touring in the UK where everything is close by but the USA is so huge! One day we are in scorching sun in Phoenix and the next we are up in the cool Denver mountains. It’s pretty amazing. - Brad

Q: What's your favorite part about touring?

A: The shows are always the best. We love going to new places and meeting fans but the performance is always our favourite.  - Tris 

Q: Where did the name "The Vamps" come from?

A: We were throwing a few names around and The Vamps was one of them. We were rushing to put a video up and had to choose so we just went with it. We didn’t expect the video to blow up so fast on Youtube. There are loads of crazy theories behind the meaning but it was actually just pretty random. It’s weird how it quickly grows on you and you become The Vamps! -Brad

Q: How did you guys all meet?

A: I started a solo acoustic artist. I found Brad doing covers on Youtube and really liked his voice. We met up and started writing together. Tristan added us on Facebook - he claims he just wanted more friends. We saw a video of him drumming and loved it so asked him to come write with us. We started putting covers up and practicing in Tristans garage. We wanted a bass player so we could play everything live and found Con on Youtube doing pop punk covers. He was really quiet at first but now he won’t shut up! haha -James

Q: What is one thing nobody knows about The Vamps?

A: Haha we get this question a lot so it’s hard to keep thinking of new things. Do you know that when we have to get grooming for big TV’s we all only take 10 mins for a little touch up except Tris who needs 45mins to make his hair into his massive mohawk? -Con

Austin Mahone Sounds Like Young-Chris Brown in New Single

Austin Mahone premiered his newest single "Banga! Banga!" last night on B96 Chicago, and it certainly sounds different than his previous single, "What About Love". Having more of a hip-hop/urban vibe, it almost sounds like a younger-Chris Brown!

Perhaps that hip hop/urban vibe is due to Austin joining forces with Young Money Entertainment? See for yourself below:
