There’s a reason why Jermaine Cole stands to be one of the few mainstream artists that I admire in this new generation of hip-hop and it’s because he doesn’t allow his new found stature to distance him from the people. His music runs parallel to the everyday struggles of everyday people and I appreciate him for doing that. His latest visual for his single, Crooked Smile, further validates my opinion of him as he decided to provide an artistic message by highlighting the heinous murder of Aiyana Stanley-Jones. If you’re not aware of who she is, then please research it because if I reveal it, it will spoil your experience in watching this amazing work of art.
