Kendrick Releases Video For “N95”

Recently the Compton native came back with a new video after the release of Mr. Morale and The Big Steppers album and The Heart Part 5 video. The N95 video is filled with trippy grainy footage of skating, Jesus comparisons, and “This Sh*t Hard” in red.

The video, directed by Dave Free and Kendrick shows a new side of Kendrick’s visuals for his latest album. Kendrick floats over the water with his arms out, evoking the symbolism of Jesus walking on water and on the cross. There is also the constant imagery of what’s going on in the song. In one of the lyrics, Kendrick says “I’m done with the sensitive, making it personal, done with the black and the white, the wrong and the right.” This is symbolized in the video where it shows a black child choosing a white baby doll over the black one, referencing the infamous “Clark Doll experiments” conducted in 1954.
