Usher & Nas' 'Chains' Video: Watch The Poignant Black Lives Matter Document
Usher linked up with Nas and Bibi Bourelly back in October for an arresting debut of the song “Chains.” The Tidal exclusive asked listeners to turn on their webcams and view the faces of young black Americans recently murdered while unarmed. If you averted your eyes, the song stopped, with the screen asking that you “don’t look away.” The experience concluded with the line, "Facing the facts is the first step towards change"; a supplementary website provided information on each of the victims.
Today’s black-and-white "Chains" video, directed by Ben Louis Nicholas, is a suitably affecting follow-up.
