Director AG Rojas returns with his first video in two years and it’s a masterpiece. “Close Your Eyes” features vocals by Run the Jewels’ New York City-based artist EI-P, Atlanta-based rapper Killer Mike as well as Zack de la Rocha (Rage Against the Machine).
A young black man (Keith Stanfield) and a police officer (Shea Whigham) wrestle each other to the point of exhaustion in this poetic clip. One of the most important music videos of the year considering the divisive outcomes of recent police brutality cases and a poignant reminder that violence is futile.
