MANILA, Philippines - Kemosabe/RCA Record’s new artist, 16-year-old Rebecca Marie Gomez, ofter known simply as BECKY G, is teaming with VEVO, the world’s leading all-premium music video and entertainment platform, to premiere the music video for her new track “Becky From The Block” feat. Jennifer Lopez.

Directed by Chrisp Productions and Definite Films and shot in Becky’s hometown of Inglewood, CA, the video features Becky’s friends, family and a show of support from Jenny From The Block herself, superstar Jennifer Lopez. “Becky From The Block” was written by Becky G, Dr. Luke, Jordan Omley and Cirkut and produced by Dr. Luke and Cirkut for Prescription Songs.

Says Becky, It was such a dope and fun experience to work with an idol of mine. Jen has always been an inspiration to me so to have her blessing on my remake of Jenny from the Block was part of my dream coming true. Becky from the Block is my life story and for her to have listened to it and be in the music video means the world to me. Hanging out with her and sharing a lot of laughs will be something I will never forget.

Becky G, an American and Latina singer and rapper signed to Kemosabe, the Sony Music Entertainment record label founded by hitmaker Dr. Luke, and RCA Records last year.
