The stark graphic storytelling is absorbing, packed with rhetorical questions and social insight and reflection. Above the snarling snaps of “Immortal” this feels very much a reality. Indeed, much of 4 Your Eyez Only feels like Cole’s pitch for spokesman of a generation, the voice of the young, isolated and exasperated. This suggests why so many fans have taken to him so keenly, particularly in a genre famed for its larger than life characters and bravado. It presents Jermaine Cole as a humble, grounded man, inquisitive in nature, grateful for his success and invested in making positive change. 4 Your Eyez Only was previewed by a 40-minute documentary, filmed at the Electric Lady Studios in New York during the album recording sessions, which provides some insight into the creative process behind the record.
