Just days after putting out their reunion album "A Better Tomorrow", Wu-Tang Clan released a music video for its title track. Debuted on the heels of the non-indictments of police officers involved in the deaths of Mike Brown and Eric Garner, the clip was created "in the hopes of inspiring change and promoting unity throughout the world."
It features numerous shots of protesters packing the streets of Ferguson and New York while holding up signs with various messages including, "Protect & Serve Not Shoot & Kill" and "Black Lives Matter." The four-and-a-half-minute visuals also includes scenes of President Obama giving a speech regarding the protests.
It closes with a long list of dozens of people who had been killed by cops in the past few years. "This is not all of the names. When will it end?" read a message at the very end of the video.
"A Better Tomorrow" was released earlier this week. Featuring all Wu-Tang members including Raekwon who was initially against the project, it marks the group' first LP since 2007's "The 8 Diagrams".
