Young Thug is a GRAMMY® Award-winning, multiplatinum, chart-topping artist, fashion disruptor, and Young Stoner Life Records founder. Not too long ago, he released an impressive rap album, entitled, “BUSINESS IS BUSINESS,” via Young Stoner Life Records/300 Entertainment.
Last week, a QR code appeared on Thug’s Instagram, attracting curiosity and buzz to www.businessisbusiness.biz. When the countdown ended, Thug delivered the surprise arrival of his 15-track album.
Young Thug – “BUSINESS IS BUSINESS” album
‘BUSINESS IS BUSINESS’ notably marks Young Thug’s first full-length solo album since 2021’s “Punk,” which bowed at #1 on the Billboard 200. The latter proved both personal and introspective, broke barriers in music, and shifted the culture. When asked about the album, Young Thug simply replied, “Business is Business.”
‘BUSINESS IS BUSINESS’ boasts collaborations with 21 Savage, Drake, Future, Lil Uzi Vert, Travis Scott, and more. A thought-provoking image of Thug in court serves as the artwork for the album.
Inspired by the weaponization of Young Thug’s art against him, 300 Elektra Entertainment Chairman and CEO Kevin Liles have spearheaded the Protect Black Art movement to limit the use of creative expression against artists in courtrooms.
It has already inspired legislation signed into law in California, the passage of bills in state houses in Louisiana, Missouri, and New York, as well as the introduction of the RAP Act at the federal level, which today has 22 co-sponsors. Notably, the California law has already led to an appeals court overturning a conviction, calling the prosecutor’s usage of lyrics “prejudicial” and stating the “remaining evidence was not strong.”
Kevin Liles stated, “This is a movement, not a moment. The prosecutorial overreach in the case against Jeffery – a great father, CEO, and leader in his community – has awakened the artistic community to the growing attack on their First Amendment rights.”
Young Thug
Young Thug has been very influential in helping to change the face of hip-hop, fashion, and culture. To date, Thug has garnered a GRAMMY® Award, reached RIAA Diamond status, and earned dozens of multiplatinum, platinum, and gold certifications. Also, he landed two back-to-back #1 solo albums on the Billboard 200 with “So Much Fun” [2019] and “Punk” [2021]. In addition to the success of YSL Records landing four #1 albums on the Billboard 200 as a label, which includes the compilation, “Slime Language 2” [2021].
Thug founded YSL Records as a creative haven for fellow mavericks and artistic renegades. As a style icon, he has launched his own popular SPIDER brand, collaborated with Givenchy, SPRAYGROUND, and Von Dutch, and graced the covers of notable media outlets. Beyond countless monumental festival appearances, Thug has performed on SNL, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and many more. With his 2023 album, “BUSINESS IS BUSINESS,” Thug will undoubtedly continue changing the game.
