Where they see weeds
We see seeds, see
We no longer need to close our fists for the revolution
Kojey Radical fittingly first showed his artistic video for “Open Fist” to an audience at the Tate Britain. (The event was excellently documented by Nation of Billions.) It’s online premiere came from Noisey. “Open Fist” is a powerful, revolutionary piece and I want everyone to watch it. Kojey Radical is an important voice, he must be heard.
“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.”
So we no longer have to look up for guidance
We can look side by side
What side are you on
We are no different
