“BUSINESS IS BUSINESS TONIGHT. @metroboomin let’s go,” Young Thug initially wrote on social media according to the Rolling Stone, tagging record producer Metro Boomin; a 29-year-old hip-hop and trap expert born as Leland Tyler Wayne.
Metro Boomin also shared the LP’s album art on Instagram yesterday, along with the caption: “Business is Business the album available worldwide tonight!!
“Drop some [fire emojis] if you ready. #FREETWIN I love you bro.”
On Twitter, 31-year-old Young Thug posted plenty of teasers for the imminent drop, including alternative album art with a song list, confirming 15 new tracks on the album.
In the comment section, the musician’s fans seemed incredibly excited for the drop.
One person said: “I think I speak for everyone when I say we will be listening.
“The wait is killing me,” added another.
BUSINESS BEHIND BARS
Young Thug was arrested on May 9, 2022.
He was charged with one count of attempted murder and one count of participating in criminal street gang activity.

This happened after authorities accused him of renting a car that was used to carry out a 2015 drive-by shooting that claimed the life of 26-year-old Donovan Thomas.
The rapper’s arrest was the result of a larger grand jury indictment that named 28 members and associates of his label, YSL Records.
The 56-count indictment also examined the group’s lyrics as evidence for the trial.
Young Thug – as a result of his lyrics – was charged for conspiring to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, with claims that YSL members were involved in murder, attempted murder, armed robbery, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, theft, drug dealing, carjacking, and witness intimidation.
Prosecutors in the YSL case have cited multiple songs as evidence of gang affiliation and racketeering activity.
Young Thug is currently being held in Fulton County Jail after a judge denied bond.
FAMILY MATTERS
Young Thug — whose real name is Jeffery Lamar Williams — was born on August 16, 1991, in Atlanta, Georgia.
He grew up in a large family, and is the ninth of 11 siblings.
Young Thug’s brother, Quantavious Grier, took a plea deal in the YSL Rico case, which included a curfew, no contact with his brother, and no possession or close proximity to firearms.
However, a gun was found in his vehicle after being pulled over by an APD undercover officer last month, and he is now having to serve the remaining nine-year balance of his original 12-year sentence.
Young Thug’s older sister, Angela Grier, died in March while the rapper was still in jail.
