Late last year, Ed Sheeran and Russ collaborated on a track called “Are You Entertained”, which just dropped today. The original plan had been for SBTV founder Jamal Edwards to direct the video, but he tragically passed away the day before shooting was to start.

Since then, and with the encouragement of Jamal’s mother and sister, Ed and Russ have teamed up with a new director, Jake Nava, to instead shoot the video as a salute to Jamal, the many lives he touched, and his monumental legacy in the music industry. The visuals landed alongside the track earlier today and they’re a fitting tribute to Jamal, packed with cameos from a lot of Jamal and Ed’s close friends, like Chunkz, Big Narstie, Jammer, Kwengface, and many more.
