Young Thug

Slime Season artist

Young Thug is the stage name of American rapper Jeffery Lamar Williams, known for his unconventional vocal style, genre-bending approach to hip-hop, and influential fashion sense.

Rising to prominence in the 2010s with tracks like "Stoner" and "Best Friend," he helped pioneer a melodic, mumble-rap aesthetic that shaped contemporary trap music.

His label YSL (Young Stug Life) became the subject of a high-profile RICO prosecution in 2022.
