AceShowbiz - Young Thug won't let his incarceration stop him from making music. In fact, the YSL Records founder released new album "Business Is Business" on Friday, June 23 while he awaits trial on state racketeering charges.
The project, which follows 2021's "Punk", consists of 15 tracks in total. It also has guest appearances from artists like Drake, Future, 21 Savage, Lil Gotit, Yak Gotti, Travis Scott (II), Bslime as well as Fun.'s Nate Ruess.
The album itself is executive produced by Metro Boomin, who teased the project on social media. On June 16, Metro posted a QR code leading to a countdown on his website with the album title and a Young Thug tag.
Thugger dropped "Business Is Business" one week after Gunna unleashed "a Gift & a Curse". The project, which has no guest appearances from any artists, include songs like "back at it", "back to the moon", "idk nomore", "paybach", "ca$h $hit", "fukumean", "rodeo dr", "bottom", "p angels", "born rich", "go crazy", "turned your back", "i was just thinking", "alright and "bread & butter".
Through his music, Gunna tries to convince people that he didn't snitch on Thugger in their RICO case. In fact, he shows his loyalty towards his frequent collaborator rapping on "bread & butter", "Never f**ked a n***a, always stayed solid/ Kept it real with n***as, never lied and always stay honest... Love my bro so much, I never change on 'em/ Hunna Wunna goin' do the work, bring you the damn profits."
Just days earlier, Gunna shared a music video for "alright" in which he be seen rapping inside a dark, empty room that only has one chair in it. At some point, the rapper looks up at the ceiling, seemingly representing his hope while he was behind bars. The video concludes with a message that reads, "Free Jeffery", referring to Thugger's real name Jeffery Lamar Williams.
