Hats off to Joey Bada$$ for capturing such pain, urgency and power in the visual for Land Of The Free, a track that sent us all into reflection eternal when it dropped the week of the US elections earlier this year. He has since announced the name and arrival date of his album ALL AMERIKKKAN BADA$$ due on the 7th of April.
This music video is politically charged with visuals of young black people in chains, them being gunned down by men in uniform stark in the middle of nowhere. As if that is not painful or scary enough, images of a KKK-esque gathering is shown with a burning cross in view as well. I love how he juxtaposes the sadness with the image of innocent looking eager children playing under a tree with him. DAMN!
Have a look:
