Now that the Black Eyed Peas have officially announced their hiatus, will.i.am has shifted his attention to his upcoming ‘#willpower’ album, which is due for release in 2012. The frist release from the project has been confirmed to be the Electo-Hop-styled ‘T.H.E. (The Hardest Ever)’ and a sneak peek of the visual has been issued.

Featuring Jennifer Lopez and Mick Jagger, the first glimpse of the visual surfaced in late October. In true will.i.am style, the rapper delivered quite a light show as he performed the tune for the first time at the 2011 American Music Awards alongside Lopez.

Watch the sneak peek of will.i.am’s ‘The Hardest Ever’ below:
