Crew love is squad goals at the house that Young Thug built. The Grammy Award-winning ATLien rallied up the YSL troops to present their litty compilation, Slime Language 2. The album, which debuted at No. 1 in the Billboard 200, showcases the growing roster of talent found on Young Stoner Life Records, the record label founded by Thugga and supported by 300 Entertainment.
It’s a family affair throughout the second installment in the Slime Language series. Crew members like Thugga, Gunna, Lil Keed and others take center stage as they show out alongside famous friends of the family like Kid Cudi, Lil Uzi Vert, Future and many others.
Drake drops his signature melodic bars on “Solid.” A standout track, the smooth banger featuring Drizzy, Thugga and Gunna debuted at No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Rowdy Rebel is home! And he sounds refreshed and ready to return to glory on his SL2 collaboration with Young Thug, “Came and Saw.” Amped up verses from Jim Jones, Lil Baby, Big Sean, DaBaby and Skepta also appear on the album featuring the TikTok hit “Ski.”
