After premiering these visuals inside the prestigious TATE Britain to unanimous praise,ultimately marking this project a piece of art, Kojey Radical has released to the rest of the world the ever-so-powerful “Open Hand”.

Directed by The Rest, who are known for using their work to illustrate important social issues, the visual introduces Kojey in a slave state, broken and visibly worn out. The space is baron and video rarely cuts, forcing you to focus on Kojey’s rising and passionate performance. As the lyrics grow in confidence, ushering in ideas of social separation through class and race, you see Kojey at his most aggressive; dripping in opulence and melanin. Eventually he returns back to his original posture, suggesting Kojey may still feel the status of slavery in some facet.

Deep stuff and very very powerful. Keep it up King Kojey.
