Returning for the sequel you never knew you needed, Rob Gronkowski and David Ortiz gifted the world their second song about Dunkin’ Donuts iced coffee at a private pre-release party Monday in Boston.

Released Tuesday, the music video of “Turn It Up’’ is the second song of Ortiz and Gronkowski’s “Summer Chill’’ album campaign.

Here’s the official video:

The first, titled “Sippin’,’’ was released June 8.

While Ortiz took control of the turntable, Gronk bounded around the stage, singing lead vocals. Gronk told Boston.com his musical stylings are inspired by rapper Eminem.

The event — well attended by local media outlets — was hosted by Hard Rock Cafe Boston and was complete with a live deejay; a giant, lurking iced coffee; donut spread; and a “Turned Up’’ iced coffee cocktail bar.

According to a Dunkin’ Donuts employee at the event, Ortiz and Gronkowski previously filmed and recorded all four songs during one day at a house in Concord, Massachusetts.

The employee told Boston.com they had to remind Gronkowski not to drink from the prop iced coffee filled with acrylic ice cubes.

And in case you’re not satisfied by just two Gronk/Papi collaborations, there are two more planned song releases: “Me Estoy Enamorando’’ on July 28, and “Four Things We Love’’ on August 9.
