Young Thug Career
Young Thug began his musical career in 2010, debuting as a guest appearance on rapper TruRoyal’s song “She Can Go”. After releasing the first three installments of his mixtape series I Came from Nothing throughout 2011 and 2012, Young Thug caught the attention of fellow Atlanta-based rapper Gucci Mane, who went on to sign Young Thug to his label 1017 Brick Squad Records, an Asylum/Atlantic imprint, in 2013.
Thug subsequently released his first project on the label, his fourth mixtape, 1017 Thug. The mixtape was met with positive reviews from music critics, which noted it for its original style. 1017 Thug was included in a number of year-end lists for 2013, such as the Pitchfork Albums of the Year: Honorable Mention and Complex’s The 50 Best Albums of 2013.
FACT called it the best mixtape of 2013, Rolling Stone placed it at number five on their 10 Best Mixtapes of 2013 and The Guardian placed it among The Five Best Mixtapes of 2013. Young Thug’s song “Picacho” was noted as one of the standout tracks from the mixtape; although it was not released as a single, the song was included on a number of 2013 year-end lists, such as Rolling Stone’s 100 Best Songs of 2013, Pitchfork’s The Top 100 Tracks of 2013, and Spin’s 50 Best Songs of 2013.
On January 18, 2014, Young Thug revealed that he had been offered $8.5 million to sign to Future’s Freebandz record label. In March 2014, Young Thug’s affiliation with Cash Money Records and its chief executive officer (CEO) Birdman, resulted in much speculation in the media about him signing to the label.
However, the label’s publicist later stated this was untrue. On March 28, 2014, Ronald “Caveman” Rosario, director of Urban Music at 1017 Distribution, cleared the situation, stating that Young Thug signed a management deal with Birdman’s Rich Gang, not a record deal, and is still signed to 1017 Brick Squad.
In 2015, a series of data breaches leaked hundreds of unreleased tracks from Young Thug’s archives to the Internet. Young Thug’s planned debut album was set for release in 2015, and was said to be named Carter 6, in homage to Lil Wayne’s upcoming album, Tha Carter V. Lil Wayne, however, wasn’t happy about the tribute, telling the audience of a show in April 2015 to “stop listening” to Young Thug.
After claiming he’s been threatened with lawsuits, Young Thug announced that he was changing the title to Barter 6 and clarified that it would be a mixtape rather than his debut album. Young Thug announced April 18, 2015, that his official debut album will be titled Hy!£UN35, which translates to “HiTunes”.
In May 2015, after much confusion as to who he was signed to and managed by, having been aligned with Gucci Mane’s 1017 Records, Future’s Freebandz, Lyor Cohen’s 300 Entertainment and Birdman’s Rich Gang, Young Thug revealed “I manage myself. I’m signed with Atlantic.
I have a big, special deal with Atlantic, and it’s only Atlantic. Birdman is my homie.” He also revealed he would be releasing another mixtape prior to the album, titled Tha Carter V.
Young Thug was featured in Calvin Klein’s Fall 2016 fashion campaign, along with Frank Ocean among others. On July 9, 2016, he announced his self-titled mixtape Jeffery was coming out soon. On August 16, 2016, Thug announced he would change his name to Jeffery for one week, the week during the release of the Jeffery mixtape.
The album artwork features Young Thug dressed in an androgynous dress designed by Italian designer Alessandro Trincone, and was photographed by Garfield Lamond. The artwork went viral and prompted a wide range of responses on social media.

Gunna Teases Joint Project With Young Thug, Names Top 5 Atlanta Rappers Ever
Gunna was on Los Angeles’ REAL 92.3 to discuss a few topics, including the very real possibility of a joint project with YSL-head Young Thug. And get this, the album could be on our doorsteps before the end of 2019. The announcement comes at the 8:05-minute mark of the interview, see for yourselves.
“No cap, we done did albums that I got right here on my phone that I ride and listen to,” Gunna says after his hosts asks him to count the number of unreleased Gunna-Thugger songs currently on the loading dock. “Lately we been working like extra… I was just at the studio locking back in with him.”
The YSL rapper spent the rest of the interview sending his regards to 21 Savage in his uphill battle against a deportation conspiracy, some would argue unjust. “He in my prayers. I know he gonna overcome it,” Gunna added in sympathy. “We all do we kings.”
As for Gunna’s current Top 5 list of Atlanta-based rappers EVER, he listed himself (d’uh) and Lil Baby, then he agreed to name Young Thug and Future, who the hosts referred to as “Shaq & Kobe,” after which the discussion sort of devolved into a chaos – with Gunna no longer in control of his own predestined fate, so he tapped out at 4.. Near the end of the interview, Gunna seems smitten with the idea of getting to work with Nas. You’ve got to see it to believe – check it out.
