J Cole Treks Across Jamaica In A Gorgeous New Video For Bally Boots

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

Since almost the dawn of hip-hop, MCs have donned rugged boots for the sake of both fashion and function. Now, J Cole has doubled down on his love of mountain-ready footwear in a new short film produced by Bally footwear, in which the rapper dons a pair of sturdy boots and sets off to travel Jamaica. And although there are an almost egregious number of "obvious advertorial boots shots," the clip ultimately comes off as genuine, enlightening and, obviously, gorgeous.

Watch the new short film below, and if you have the chance, treat yourself to J Cole's live show--it's a beautiful thing, and you can cop tickets via his website.
