  • Run the Jewels "Close Your Eyes" Music Video: Killer Mike, El-P Tackle Police Brutality [WATCH]

    Run the Jewels have shared the music video for the powerful 'Run the Jewels 2' track "Close Your Eyes." The video is just as evocative, if not so, as the song that takes a strong stance against the current injustices facing society, like police brutality. Director AG Rojas crafts a simple, no-frills video, yet with an incredibly powerful message as two men -- a young black man played by Keith Stanfield (Jimmie Lee Jackson in 'Selma') and a white police officer played by Shea Whigham (Eli in 'Boardwalk Empire') and -- grapple with each other all day and all night on a deserted street without one side ever gaining an advantage or winning and eventually come to rest right next to each other. Symbolism is rife throughout the video as the two men represent the larger communities they come from and the seemingly never-ending battle between them. Watch the powerful visuals below from Killer Mike and El-P.
