Watch Joey Badass’ New Video for “Land of the Free”
Joey Badass follows up the release date announcement for his sophomore album All-Amerikkkan Bada$$ by sharing the video for his single “Land of the Free.”
Set to an almost desert backdrop, the video features Joey leading a group of African Americans through the land before being confronted by white authoritarian figures. Warning: what takes place next may be a bit too sensitive for some, but worth watching if you’re at all aware of what’s happening in America right now.
It’s a powerful message Joey is sending through this visual, and shows his growth as an individual. According to a press release, Joey “intends on addressing the current state of the world in 2017 from his point of view.”
