The subtitle of Goodbye Tomorrow's "JAY Z" video is "A Dissertation on the Diaspora of the Black Soul." If that rings like staid boom-bap rap you lug around in a Jansport, don't worry--that's not what Goodbye Tomorrow is making. Instead, the Chicago act engages with the commercial rap on which they're commenting. It's not parody, but it's not earnest. "JAY Z" feigns at the titular rapper's stadium-filling material; the writing circles topics that are often hot-buttons among underground artists. Chains, cars, "girls."

What casts the song in a more interesting light is its accompanying video. There are jarring moments: At the 3:30 mark, a rapper who appears to be white is seen rapping the word "nigga" repeatedly. This comes directly after a group of White men carjack a group of Black men, stealing the latter's Mercedes to flee the scene. Earlier in the clip, there are the historical oppressors, cops and their ancestors. At times, the characters who play your road into the video dip into video games and other virtual realities.

The song is available for purchase on iTunes, but even that page contains little information about Goodbye Tomorrow.
