Yung Lean’s video for the FKA twigs-featured track “Bliss” showed his campy side, but the newly released video for “Paradise Lost” (featuring Ant Wan) goes the opposite route. The Marcus Söderlund-directed video takes on a neo-goth aesthetic, with the Swedish rapper and Ant Wan in a wooden chapel and a dimly-lit underground garage.
Young Thug’s prosecutors are using his lyrics against him. Where’s the free speech brigade?
12.05.2022 - 22:05 / thefader.com
Just over two weeks ago, free speech seemed to be America’s most pressing issue. At the end of April, Elon Musk's $44 billion bid to buy Twitter was accepted, and all sides of the political spectrum were consumed by what this meant for the discourse. Musk is sympathetic to right-wing criticisms of Twitter as biased against conservatives (claims that are factually untrue) and has vowed to make Twitter a “platform for free speech around the world” (of course, Musk recently stated that, under his leadership, tweets deemed “wrong and bad” could “be either deleted or made invisible,” so who knows).
This issue has more or less faded from the news cycle, but a vision of lives destroyed for the wrong expression isn’t some dystopic future. As the recent arrests of Gunna and Young Thug prove, it’s happening right now. The 56-count indictment was handed down on May 9.
It names 28 associates of Young Thug’s label YSL (Young Slime Life) including Thug and Gunna – according to prosecutors, YSL is a criminal gang founded in 2012 and connected to national Bloods crews. Each person in the indictment is charged with conspiracy to violate the state’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act. To prosecute someone under the Act, the state of Georgia must prove that a defendant has committed at least two offenses under the broad umbrella of “racketeering” and that they were perpetrated by at least two members of a criminal enterprise.
If found guilty, a defendant can face up to 20 years in prison, a fine, or both. Read Next: Young Thug charged with seven new felonies after raid on home Young Thug is accused of over 30 RICO violations. Some are serious, like the charge that he rented a car used in the murder of a rival gang
