You Won't Soon Forget Usher's Powerful Video For "Chains"

Usher has released his video for "Chains," and it's heavy. Nas and Bibi Bourelly are featured on the track, and the video addresses the pressing issue of police brutality. Usher is showcased wearing a hoodie and being alternately led around by police at night and wandering around a church filled with zombie-like people. "You act like the change / Tryna throw me in chains / Don't act like you saving us / It's still the same / Man don't act like I made it up / You blaming us," he raps, while a tear rolls down his cheek from the back of a cop car. It's a devastating commentary about the current racial climate, and you need to see it.
