Today, rising singer, songwriter and performer JACOB BANKJS shares the visuals for his latest single “Chainsmoking.” The video was written and co-directed by Jacob Banks himself, and premiered earlier today via i-D Magazine. Banks explains that the video is “about resilience amongst the oppressed. It’s choosing to not give a shit, even when it hurts.” The track is taken from his critically acclaimed EP, The Boy Who Cried Freedom, which was released earlier this spring on Darkroom / Interscope Records.
