Grammy-winning rapper and Young Stoner Life Records founder Young Thug presents his new full-length studio album entitled “Business Is Business”, available via Young Stoner Life Records/300 Entertainment.
“Business Is Business” notably marks Thugger’s first full-length solo album since 2021βs “Punk,” which bowed at #1 on the Billboard 200. The latter proved both personal and introspective, broke barriers in music, and shifted culture.
When asked about the album, Young Thug simply replied with βBusiness is Business.β
The anticipated project boasts collaborations with 21 Savage, Drake, Future, Lil Uzi Vert, Travis Scott and more. A thought-provoking image of Thug in court serves as the artwork for the album.
Inspired by the weaponization of Young Thugβs art against him, 300 Elektra Entertainment Chairman and CEO Kevin Liles has spearheaded the Protect Black Art movement to limit the use of creative expression against artists in courtrooms. It has already inspired legislation signed into law California, the passage of bills in state houses in Louisiana, Missouri, and New York, as well as the introduction of the RAP Act at the federal level, which today has 22 co-sponsors.
Notably, the California law has already led to an appeals court overturning a conviction, calling the prosecutorβs usage of lyrics βprejudicialβ and stating the βremaining evidence was not strong.β Liles said, βThis is a movement, not a moment. The prosecutorial overreach in the case against Jeffery β a great father, CEO, and leader in his community β has awakened the artistic community to the growing attack on their First Amendment rights.β
