The once-triumphant world of Atlanta hip-hop is in a state of emergency. Just days after a far-reaching, 56-count indictment named Young Thug , Gunna , and more than two dozen other artists from YSL’s roster as alleged conspirators in a well-organized criminal organization, the label’s up-and-coming signee Lil Keed passed away on Saturday, May 14th. The cause of his death remains unknown. A protegé of Young Thug, Keed is not named in any indictment, and he was among the first to speak out on the allegations against YSL: In a post on his Instagram days before his death, he wrote that “YSL is not a street gang.” Young Thug, real name Jeffrey Williams, is listed as the head of the supposed organization in last week’s indictment and stands accused of violating Georgia’s RICO Act as well as participating in criminal street gang activity.

Shawn Mendes is pushing his Canadian roots to the side in a new Tommy Hilfiger campaign that features the singer-songwriter covering Bruce Springsteen ’s 1984 single “Dancing in the Dark.” Directed by Craig McDean and Theo Stanley, Mendes delivers his rendition of the dance-rock track from an Austin, Texas warehouse. The singer fully commits with his rendition, paying homage by tucking a tri-colored Americana bandana into his jeans and rocking out on his own with the energy of a packed-out stadium show. The little details all point back to Springsteen’s own style in the original “Dancing in the Dark” music video. The cover follows the arrival of the young singer’s own Springsteen-esque single “When You’re Gone,” a contemplative breakup song that transforms into an arena-ready sing along before it can weigh itself down too much. Springsteen’s influence as a musician and songwriter has been at the root of Mendes’ artistry since the singer was first paired up with longtime … [Read more...] about Shawn Mendes Pays Homage to Bruce Springsteen With ‘Dancing in the Dark’ Cover
