North Carolina rapper J. Cole is very, very, very far from his Southern roots in his new "Punchin' the Clock" music video. The rap heavyweight comes through with a stunning visual from his newly released The Off-Season album.
The rap heavyweight starts off with a dark and gloomy shot from New York City.
The Manhattan scene clearly shows the Empire State Building in the background as Cole waits for a taxi cab to pull up.
It doesn’t take long before Jermaine’s raps go from the street to the inside of the taxi. He’s completely turning up and even – at times – raps outside of the window as the vehicles cruises the Big Apple.
Afternoon turns to evening with Cole opting for some street meat and digging right into some halal grub.
