Cole has unveiled the music video for his '2014 Forest Hills Drive' song "G.O.M.D." Though as 'Complex' reported, the rapper and his label have chosen "Wet Dreamz" as the next album single, Cole still went ahead with the release of this video, providing powerful visuals to one of the more personal tracks. The visuals cast J. Cole as a house slave somewhere in the South, where his fellow slaves resent him for receiving favorable treatment.

They are then able to take over the plantation from their abusive master and start a massive fire before an impending battle looms with other whites. Watch the video below via Cole. -
