Lil Baby Shares “It’s Only Me” Tracklist Featuring Pooh Shiesty, Future, Young Thug, And More

Lil Baby isn’t prepared to abdicate the throne, despite the fact that his enemies are eagerly awaiting the end of his reign. The Georgia hitmaker has been on a roll for a while, and as he gets ready to drop his new album, Baby is implying that he’s always been a GOAT regardless of his age.

Lil Baby started the week off right today (October 10) by sharing a new song, “Heyy,” along with a music video. He also disappeared from the tracklist for his upcoming album, It’s Only Me, shortly after its release.

GOAT discussions are common in hip hop. Mt. Rushmore is depicted in the picture, but Lil Baby is each of the faces at different points in his life. A new era for the Rap sensation is being planned now that the public has a fresh view on Baby’s ascent in Hip Hop as a result of his well-received documentary.

Young Thug, Nardo Wick, Rylo Rodriguez, Pooh Shiesty, and other artists, including newcomer Fridayy, have featured on this most recent 23-track CD. Fans of Baby already anticipate that this song will quickly reach the top of the charts.

Young Thug Offers Kanye West 100 Acres Of Land “Free Of Charge”

Young Thug desires to collaborate with Kanye West, even while he is incarcerated. We are already aware that Young Thug is facing significant federal charges after being identified in a Georgia-based RICO indictment. However, his supporters insist that YSL, or Young Stoner Life, is simply a record label that has been targeted because they are young Black professionals who are predominating in the music industry. The rapper has been accused of being the leader of a criminal gang operation known as YSL or Young Slime Life.

Thugger’s trial is scheduled to take place somewhere in the spring of 2023, and as he has repeatedly been granted bond, the only communication he has with the outside world is through his legal team and the rare social media post.

This week, he captured social media’s attention by tweeting Michael Phelps and enquiring as to whether the Olympic gold champion could swim 100 miles from the open sea to land. Given that Kanye West is once again attacking everyone online, Young Thug has returned with a message for the Donda icon. Phelps appeared to be fairly confident that he could succeed.

“@Kanyewest I got over 100 acres. However many you need they’re yours free of charge. On GOD,” a message on Thugger’s Story read. Ye posted what appeared to be a screenshot of a text message exchange with A$AP Bari. “We gotta get thug outta jail,” Bari stated. In response, West claimed that he had sent something to his ex-wife Kim Kardashian, who had been pursuing a legal career. “FREE YSL,” West captioned.

Young Thug Consults Michael Phelps For Advice On Swimming 100 Miles Offshore

Young Thug joked about trying to escape from prison when he tweeted on Wednesday asking 23-time Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps for tips on how to swim back to land from 100 miles out to sea. In connection with the most recent 56-count RICO indictment against his Young Slime Life record company, Thug is currently in custody awaiting trial on a number of crimes.

“I’m talking with my roommate and we’re wondering if you could swim 100 miles from the middle of the ocean back to shore,” Thug mentioned Michael Phelps in a tweet.

“U tryna escape,” In reaction to the post, one fan wrote.

Yet another joked: “Oh nah they moved him to Alcatraz.”

Phelps has not yet replied to the tweet.

It was revealed earlier this month that Thug’s trial date would be January 9, 2023. The prosecution’s use of rap lyrics will be a very contentious aspect of the trial.

At a news conference, Fulton County District Attorney Fanni Willis recently defended the use of music in court, saying, “If you decide to admit your crimes over a beat, I’m gon’ use it… People can continue to be angry about it, [but] I have some legal advice: Don’t confess to crimes on rap lyrics if you do not want them used — or, at least, get out of my county.”

Boosie Badazz Thinks The Industry Is Moving Away From Gangsta Rappers

Rappers are making sure their lawyers are prepared for action as news has emerged that Atlanta prosecutors are planning more RICO cases. We have followed the latest developments in the explosive case involving YSL, which led to the detention and prosecution of over two dozen individuals. However, the D.A.’s office has confirmed that additional indictments are imminent. These suspects have included Young Thug and Gunna, who are still detained and continue to vehemently deny all charges brought against them.

Boosie recently gave one of many interviews to VladTV, during which he discussed the changes taking place in hip-hop and how the genre seemed to be moving away from gangsta rap culture and toward a less contentious sound.

“They basically doing all this to separate gangbanging from Rap,” Boosie stated. “They gon’ basically tell you, you can’t be a gangbanger and Rap… I’m not a gang banger, but I think it’s a bad thing for them. Gangbangers. Because what they’re preaching about, they’re not gonna let happen. The power that bring it, they’re not gonna let it stay. The impact you’re having on people, they’re not gonna it stay. You’re gonna have to be a fake rapper.”

“If they see you goin’ that way, they’re gonna stop you,” he added. “That’s why [they said], ‘We’re gonna get YSL.’ Who everybody lookin’ up to. And that’s the way they can do it with the gangbanging thing. That’s a tool they got right now, and it’s become successful, but I want all them boys free. I want all them boys at home. I just tell ’em, get close with God, man. Get close with God in the motherf*cka. You never know.”

Gunna Was Denied Bond Again And Will Remain In Custody Until His Trial In January

Young Thug, Gunna, Duke, and several other members of YSL Records were implicated in a lengthy Georgia RICO indictment on May 9. One of the first accused musicians to be detained was Young Thug, and shortly after the indictment was made public, Gunna also turned himself in. On May 23, Gunna’s request for bond was rejected by the court after the prosecution contended that the “pushin P” rapper is actually a known member of the YSL gang and a lethal leader inside the group.

Gunna went to court more than a month later for a bond review, but the DS4EVER artist was once again refused bond.

WSBTV reports that the Atlanta rapper virtually appeared in court today in an effort to be released on a “extreme bond that would include house arrest and recorded phone lines,” but prosecutors reportedly urged the judge to keep Gunna in jail due to his alleged leadership role in YSL so that he is unable to potentially intimidate witnesses.

Gunna has maintained his innocence throughout the entire ordeal, and on June 14 he tweeted an open letter asking for his release and the preservation of Black art.

“Growing up from where I come from in a marginalized neighborhood, I never dreamt my art would change my life and the lives of my loved ones,” Gunna stated in the letter. “We still pushing P: Power, Prayer, Progress, Passion, Productivity, Praise, Precision, Peace, Prosperity, Patience, Pride, and Persistence.”

The YSL Gang Indictment trial, in which Gunna, Young Thug, and other YSL artists will participate, is currently scheduled for January 9th, 2023.

Gunna Writes An Open Letter From Prison: "We Still Pushing P"

Gunna Writes An Open Letter From Prison: “We Still Pushing P” 

Gunna has penned a letter to his followers from a Fulton County jail, where he is being held on charges of conspiring to break Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act. Young Thug was arrested as part of a 56-count indictment against members of YSL, which included him.

Gunna begins his letter on a positive note: “2022 has been one of the best years of my life, despite this difficult situation. This year I had the whole world pushing P.”

He then goes on to reflect about his upbringing in a “marginalized neighborhood,” where he experienced Black people “attacked, hated, murdered, berated, belittled, silenced, judged, used and held captive.”

Despite his detention, Gunna maintains that the prosecution’s allegations against him are untrue, and that he believes he will be proved innocent.

“The picture that is being painted of me is ugly and untrue,” he said. “My fans know I love to celebrate life, I love my family, I love travel, I love music, I love my fans. I have all faith that God will grant me justice for the purity in my heart and the innocence of my actions.”

He then continued “Nothing will stop me from chasing my dreams, I won’t stop being a good person, even if some unnamed and unknown accusers want the world to see me as bad person. When I was free, I tried to be good and kind to the community around me and, when I am released, I will do the same thing all over again.”

“We still pushing P: Power, Prayer, Progress, Passion, Productivity, Praise, Precision, Pease, Prosperity, Patience, Pride and Persistence,”Gunna comes to a conclusion.

Young Thug Sends A Message To Fans From Detention At Hot 97 Summer Jam

Young Thug Sends A Message To Fans From Detention At Hot 97 Summer Jam

Young Thug was unable to attend Hot 97’s Summer Jam 2022 on Sunday (June 12) because to his recent RICO arrest, but the Atlanta rapper’s presence could still be felt inside MetLife Stadium.

Before the night’s main act, Fivio Foreign, took the stage, Hot 97 broadcasted a video inside the stadium including DJ Khaled, Polo G, and G Herbo expressing their support for Thugga and Gunna (who is also in jail on a RICO charge), as well as artistic expression in rap music.

Young Thug addressed his supporters from behind bars in a pre-recorded voice message at the end of the video. “I just want to say thank you to all of my friends and my family for coming out and supporting us,” he stated. “You know, your support during this time means a lot to us, ya know.”

Thug then urged his followers to sign the petition Rap Music on Trial: Protect Black Art, which was created last week by music executives Kevin Liles and Julie Greenwald. He also asked politicians to prohibit rap lyrics from being used in court to convict artists of alleged crimes.

Young Thug On Protecting Black Artists:

“You know, this isn’t just about me or YSL, I always use my music as a form of artistic expression, and now I see that Black artists and rappers don’t have that, you know, freedom,” he added. “Everybody please sign the ‘Protect Black Art’ petition and keep praying for us. I love you all.”

Last month, the New York Senate passed the “Rap Music on Trial” measure, which restricts the “admissibility of evidence of a defendant’s creative or artistic expression in a criminal proceeding.” However, as Thug and Gunna’s RICO lawsuit (filed in Fulton County, Georgia) demonstrates, the problem persists throughout the United States.

Fulton County District Attorney Reveals Threats She's Received Over YSL Case

Fulton County District Attorney Reveals Threats She’s Received Over YSL Case

Every few days, new information about YSL’s case is released, and we close off this week with a statement from the Fulton County District Attorney about her safety. The RICO indictment states that Young Thug, Gunna, and 26 of his accused collaborators are participating in criminal gang activity. The group has been charged with murder, attempted murder, theft, witness tampering, intimidation, and other crimes, and while Thug and Gunna’s camp denies that YSL is a gang, prosecutors contend differently.

District Attorney Fani Willis spoke with WSB-TV about the case, including the necessity for her to beef up security as a result of the persistent threats she and her team have received since the case went public.

She acknowledged that she believes thfe threats are coming from fans rather than the workers.

“We don’t believe that these threats were directed by anyone that is in the YSL indictment,” Willis stated. “I would say that (threats are coming from) people that are very sympathetic, maybe admirers of YSL and people who are connected with them in some sense.”

Travis Scott Expresses His Love For Young Thug After Being Denied Bond

Since his incarceration, we’ve received a few updates on Young Thug. He appeared through Zoom during a court last week, where he was denied bond in the case. Thugger’s bond was denied by the judge, who claimed he would become a flight risk and was concerned about witness intimidation. However, we’ve recently received a number of upgrades. Karlae, his girlfriend, reportedly stated that he was in “excellent spirits,” which Lil Baby quickly reiterated.

Since his arrest last year, fans have been calling for Thug’s release, and his pals have kept his name alive while he’s been gone. Following news of Thug’s bond hearing, Travis Scott showed his love for him. On his Instagram Story, Scott posted two images alongside Thug. The first is a picture of the two of them traveling about in a car. He wrote, “My Bruddda.” In a second post, he released a screenshot from the music video for “FRANCHISE.”

On and off the record, the two rappers have developed a deep friendship over the years. They’ve worked together on songs like “Mamacita” and “Pick Up The Phone,” and in 2015, they went on the Days Before Rodeo tour together. They’ve collaborated on songs like “Bubbly” with Drake, “The London” with J. Cole, and “OUT WEST,” which went viral on TikTok. With Utopia rumored to be on its way, the two may be getting even hotter.

21 Savage Talks About Young Thug And Gunna’s RICO Arrest

21 Savage, another Atlanta rapper has now voiced his opinion on the My Expert Opinion show, speaking with Math Hoffa. “It’s a Catch-22,” the Issa Album artist says approximately a minute and a half into the video, referring to how tough it can be for some musicians to retain a relationship with their hometown after landing their big break.

“It’s like, I can make it and forget about my hood, and then my hood going to be trying to kill me. Or, I can look out for my hood, and I can catch a RICO,” he stated. “If you get on and turn your back on your hood, you’re a f*ck n*gga.”

Overall, Savage urged rappers to exercise caution when visiting venues they frequented prior to their fame. “They gonna take your jewelry, they gonna show the world, ‘He ain’t even like that. He’s a bitch.’ If you take care of your hood, you’re a f*cking leader.”

“If you want to be a n*gga hanging on the block, just know that you can get killed hanging on the block, rapper or not. That’s how it go,” the “Wheelie” hitmaker told Hoffa.

Young Thug is doing his best to stay in good spirits, according to the latest updates from both his ex, Jerika Karlae, and his good buddy, Lil Baby, from behind bars. Both he and Gunna are currently held without bond in Fulton County, leaving the world without YSL’s biggest names for the time being.
