Don’t be fooled by the slurring and sloshing. Young Thug is a bizarrely talented lyricist and rap’s next big thing.
These days, Lil Wayne doesn't rap like he used to.
But in Atlanta, there's a 21-year-old rapper who can wildly contort his voice. He goes by Young Thug.
Young Thug was raised in Atlanta's Jonesboro South housing projects.
He says he learned to play with language from all the people on nearby Cleveland Avenue, and from having “dated girls from different species.”
His first three tapes, released from 2011 to 2012, are called I Came From Nothing 1, 2 and 3.

He's got style. Sometimes, he wears a pink beret.
