Jay-Z is back with another spectacular socially and politically charged promo from his new album, 4:44.

Directed by Alan Yang through Caviar, the video for Moonlight takes aim at iconic 90s sitcom Friends, and the complete lack of diversity within the cast by remaking the episode The One Where No One’s Ready, featuring only black actors.

Top comedians and actors such as Lil Rel Howery, LaKeith Stanfield, Jerrod Carmichael, Issa Rae, Tiffany Haddish, Tessa Thompson and Hannibal Buress star in the promo, which continues to explore the themes laid out the rapper's previous release, The Story of O.J, by questioning the benefits of fame and success for black men and women, while also highlighting the general lack of diversity in Hollywood.
