Check out this video from Hip Hop Official featuring BEP members apl.de.ap, will.i.am, and Taboo. Tab says the new record is coming in late 2008 or early 2009. At this point, I hope it’s 2009, so a new single has time to impact and take over the airwaves before the album drops. Watch below!

The Black Eyed Peas are due to complete their fifth album, “The E.N.D.,” in London next week. “I’ll be finishing the record Oct. 15,” producer and group member will.i.am tells Billboard.com. Recording sessions have been taking place at Metropolis Studios in London.
The album title is not an indication that it’s intended to be the hip-hop outfit’s final record. “No, no — it stands for ‘The Energy Never Dies,’” explains will.i.am.
Black Eyed Peas’ previous set, 2005′s “Monkey Business” (A&M/Interscope), has sold 4.2 million copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan. “We still have a contract with them,” says will.i.am, adding that the number of albums left to deliver was “not that many.”
Asked about the group’s future relationship with the Universal Music label, will.i.am said, “It all depends on how they evolve, it’s up to them to define what they’re going to be in the future.”
