J. Cole continues to keep it real and just made his documentary, J. Cole: 4 Your Eyez Only, available on YouTube.
The documentary premiered on HBO on April 15 to huge ratings but keeping in mind that many of his target audience maybe can’t afford the premium network, he’s made it available for everyone now as most people at least have a cell phone these days.
The documentary showcases concert footage but much of the film focuses on the stories of impoverished African-Americans in the Midwest and Southern cities. The rapper visited places like Ferguson, Mo., Baton Rouge, La., and his hometown of Fayetteville, NC. The nearly 48-minute film explores issues of housing, voting laws and integration.
J. Cole previously spoke to the New York Times about the documentary, stating,
“I felt like it would be mad powerful for Black people to see Black people talking to each other. And you see a rapper who’s considered one of the biggest in the game, just listening. These are people that never get to be heard, by the world or even by each other […] See how human they are, and see black men walk around with their daughters, and get a whole different perspective. If I’m listening, why can’t you listen?”
Watch the impactful documentary now.
