ʻO Jeffrey Lamar Williams, i ʻike ʻia ʻo Young Thug, he rapper ʻAmelika. Ua mālama ʻia kahi wahi ma nā papa mele mele US mai 2011.
ʻO ka hui pū ʻana me nā mea pena e like me Gucci Mane, Birdman, Waka Flocka Flame a me Richie Homi, ua lilo ʻo ia i hoʻokahi o nā mea hoʻokani kaulana loa i kēia lā. I ka makahiki 2013, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo ia i kahi lipine hui i loaʻa i nā loiloi maikaʻi, e kaulana ana kāna mele i nā hale pō a me nā pāʻina.
Ua hānai ʻia ʻo ia ma waena o nā kaikunāne he ʻumi, ua hana ikaika ʻo ia e loaʻa ka ʻike - mua ma Atlanta a laila ma US. Ua hoʻonoho ʻo ia i nā ʻano he nui i kāna ʻoihana mua ma ke ʻano he kiʻi kiʻi. ʻO kāna mau mea uila a me kona lauoho lōʻihi i lilo i ʻōlelo hoʻohālike no ka poʻe makemake rappers.
I loko o kona mau makahiki ʻōpio, ua ʻike ʻo ia ua ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o kona hoʻomaopopo ʻana i nā ʻano wahine a hoʻomaka ʻo ia e haʻuki i nā ʻano hou e hui pū ai i nā lole kāne a me nā wahine, a ke hoʻomau nei ʻo ia e hōʻike i nā hanana like ʻole.
Hiki i kēia ke hoʻoulu i ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa he nui, akā ʻaʻole e like me kāna haʻi ʻana i ka male kāne, ʻoiai inā pili ʻo ia iā Jerrika Carl. Me ka hūnā ʻole ʻana i kona ʻano nohona maʻamau, ua lilo ʻo ia i hōkū e hoʻomaikaʻi i kāna mele impeccable. He ʻōlelo ʻole ʻo ia, ʻakaʻaka, a mālama ʻole, e kōkua iā ia e pale i ka hoʻohewa maikaʻi ʻole.
ʻO ka wā kamaliʻi a me ka ʻōpio
Ua hānau ʻia ʻo Young Thug iā Jeffrey Lamar Williams ma Atlanta, Georgia ma ʻAukake 16, 1991. He ʻumikumamākahi nā keiki a kona makuahine, ʻo ia ka lua o ka muli loa. Noho pū ko lāua ʻohana i nā hale i hoʻopau ʻia o Jonesboro Hema.
He mau makua kāne ola like ʻole kona mau kaikaina. ʻO ia a me kona kaikuahine, ʻo ia ka muli loa o nā kaikunāne a pau, hoʻokahi makua kāne. He mea paʻakikī i kona makuahine ke hoʻolako i nā keiki he nui. Ua ulu ʻo ia me ka hewa. Ua pana ʻia kona kaikuaʻana i mua ona, a ke hoʻopaʻi nei kekahi o kona mau kaikuaʻana i ka hoʻopaʻi pepehi kanaka.
Ua hele ʻo ia i ke kula haʻahaʻa a hiki i ka papa ʻeono, akā ua kipaku ʻia ʻo ia mai ke kula ma hope o kona haki ʻana i ka lima o kāna kumu. Ua hoʻopaʻahao ʻia ʻo ia ma hope no nā ʻōpio no ʻehā makahiki. Ma hope o kēia hanana, i kona wā ʻōpio, ua hoʻomohala ʻo ia i nā maʻamau maikaʻi ʻole a hoʻomaka ʻo ia e pāʻani e like me kona mau kaikuaʻana. Ua makemake ʻo ia i ka manaʻo o ka pilikia. Ua hāʻule koke ʻo ia i ka lāʻau lapaʻau a me ka hana ʻino.
I ka makahiki ʻumikūmāhiku, ua lilo ʻo ia i makua kāne. I kēia manawa, hoʻomaka ʻo ia e ʻike i kāna talena no ka mele a me ka rap. ʻO ia ka manawa i ʻike ai ʻaʻole hiki iā ia ke noho ʻilihune.
Ke hana nei me Gucci Mane
Ua hauʻoli loa ʻo Rapper Gucci Mane i ka mixtape mua a Young Thug i kapa ʻia "I Come from Nothing". Ma muli o kāna hana ʻokoʻa a ʻike ʻia, ua kau inoa koke ʻo ia i kāna lepili.
Ma 2013, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo ia i kahi mixtape i kapa ʻia ʻo "1017 Thug" ma lalo o ka hae o Gucci. Ua lilo kāna mau mele i mea kaulana a ua hoʻokomo ʻia ʻo ia i ka papa inoa "Albums of the Year" a loaʻa iā ia kahi loiloi maikaʻi mai "Complex". Ua koho ʻia kāna mele ʻo 'Picacho' i ke mele maikaʻi loa ma kāna mixtape a ua hoʻokomo ʻia i ka papa inoa ʻo 'Rolling Stone' 2013 a me Spin o nā mele maikaʻi loa.
Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo ia i kāna mele mua "Stoner" ma hope o kēlā makahiki, a ukali ʻia e "Danny Glover". He mau mele ʻelua a ua hui pū ʻia e nā mea hoʻokani kaulana a me nā DJ. ʻO ka mea pōʻino, ʻaʻole ʻo ia i ʻae i nā remix o kāna mele.
I ka hoʻoikaika ʻana i kona kūlana ma ka ʻoihana mele, ua hoʻomaka koke ʻo ia e hui pū me nā inoa nui e like me Alex Toomai, Danny Brown, Trick Duddy a me Travis Scott.
Waiwai a me ka hanohano
ʻO 2014 kekahi o nā makahiki ʻoi loa o Thug. Ma hope o kekahi mau manaʻo e pili ana i ke kau inoa ʻana i kahi moʻolelo $ 1,5 miliona me Cash Money Records, ua hoʻolaha ʻo Birdman ua kau inoa ʻo ia i kahi kuʻikahi hoʻokele me ka lepili.
Ua hoʻopaʻa ʻo ia i kekahi mau mele ma lalo o "1017 Brick Squad" me Kane West, Rich Homie a me Chief Keef, a lilo ia i uhi o "The Fader".
Ma Malaki 2014, ua hoʻolaha ʻo ia e paʻi koke kāna album mua i ka mākeke a kapa ʻia ʻo ia ʻo "Carter 6", e hōʻike ana i ka mahalo o Thug no ka album hit a Lil Wayne "Tha Carter".
Leke Mixtape & Hoʻonui Paʻani (EP)
Ua hoʻomaka koke ʻo ia e hoʻopaʻa i nā mele hou ma muli o kāna ʻano manuahi. ʻO ka mea pōʻino, ua hoʻoheheʻe ʻia nā mele mai kāna album mai kahi hewa ʻikepili. Ua hele i viral, a no ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i ka pilikia, pono ʻo ia e hoʻokuʻu koke i ʻelua mixtape, Slime Season a me Slime Season 2, i mea e hoʻopau ai i ka poho.
No ka hoʻohui ʻana i kona hauʻoli, ʻaʻole hauʻoli nui ʻo Lil Wayne i ka hoʻolaha ʻana o Thug e makemake ʻo ia e hoʻolaʻa i kāna album mua iā ia, kahi mea i hoʻoholo ʻia ma hope o ka ʻaha. Ma hope o kēlā, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo Thug i kahi mixtape ma kahi o kahi album a kapa ʻia ʻo "Barter 6", ma hope e hoʻololi iā ia i "HiTunes" ma lalo o ka lepili Atlantika.
Ma hope o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana, ua hālāwai ʻo ia me Kane, kahi i mahalo nui ai ʻo Kane i ke ʻano kūʻokoʻa a hoʻohālikelike iā ia me Bob Marley. I ka makahiki 2015, hoʻolaha lākou e hoʻokuʻu pū ana lākou i kahi album, akā ʻaʻole naʻe e hōʻoia i nā lā.
Ma 2016, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo Thug i kāna EP mua "I Up", e pā hou ana i nā mele mele ʻAmelika. Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo ia i kahi lipine hui hou, "Slime Season 3", i hoʻopau i ka leak fiasco. I ka waena o ka makahiki, ua hoʻonohonoho ʻo ia i kahi huakaʻi me "Rich the Kid", "TM88" a me "Dae Dae" no kāna mixtape "Hitunes" ma United States. Ua lilo ʻo ia i kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi i ka wā o ka huakaʻi a ua hōʻike ʻia ma ka Calvin Klein Fall 2016 Collection.
Nā manaʻo ma ka lepili ponoʻī
Me ka hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻana i nā makana, ke hana nei ʻo ia ma kahi mixtape i kapa ʻia ʻo "Jeffrey" a hoʻolālā e hoʻomaka i kāna lepili ponoʻī i kapa ʻia ʻo "YSL Records" koke.
ʻOiai e kali ana ka poʻe pā i ka papahana hou a Young Thug, ua lele ʻia kahi mele hou "Best Thing of All Time" i ka hopena o Malaki 2017; akā naʻe, ua nalowale ke mele mai ka puke hou a Thug. Ma 2017 hoʻi, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo Thug i nā hui like ʻole, ʻo ka mea mua me Guatemalan-American producer Carnage on the Young Martha EP, i hoʻokuʻu ʻia i kēia hāʻule, a laila me Future on the Super Slimey mixtape.
ʻO ka "Ride on Me" hoʻokahi e hōʻike ana iā A-Trak i ʻike ʻia i ka 2018 mua ma mua o ka Hear No Evil EP, i hoʻokuʻu ʻia i ka hopena o ʻApelila.
I kekahi mau mahina ma hope mai, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo ia i ka hui ʻana o Young Stoner Life Records, me Lil Duke, Gunna, Lil Uzi Vert, a me nā mea hou aku. I ka mahina aʻe, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo Thug i kāna EP ʻekolu, ma Rvn. ʻO ka hoʻomaka ʻana ma ka papa 20 kiʻekiʻe o ka Billboard 200 a me nā palapala R&B/hip-hop, ua hōʻike ʻia ka pōkole pōkole i nā malihini ʻo 6LACK, Jaden Smith a me Elton John, nāna i hāʻawi i ka rapper i kā lākou "Rocket Man" hōʻailona o ka ʻae ʻia no ka sampling High.
No laila, ʻo ka hoʻokuʻu mua ʻana o FunThug ma 2019 ua lawe i ke ʻano o ka hui pū ʻana me J. Cole a me Travis Scott i kapa ʻia ʻo "London". E hōʻike ʻia ka mea hoʻokahi ma ka album ponoʻī a So Much Fun.
Nā hana nui a Young Thug
Ua paʻi ʻia kāna mau mixtape a pau, akā ua kūleʻa maikaʻi kekahi o lākou. Ua piʻi ka Barter 6 ma ka helu 22 ma ka US Billboard 200. Ua hoʻopaʻapaʻa kekahi poʻe hoʻohewa ua maikaʻi ka album ma muli o ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa ʻana o Young me Lil Wayne, a ʻo kekahi poʻe i hoʻopaʻapaʻa ua kūleʻa ia ma muli o kāna ʻano rapping ʻole.
ʻO kāna mele kaulana loa ʻo "Picacho", ʻaʻole ia he hoʻokahi, paʻi i nā mele 100 kiʻekiʻe o Rolling Stone a me Pitchfork, a paʻi i nā mele 50 kiʻekiʻe o Spin.
Ua kaulana hou kāna mele "Stoner" i ka makahiki 2014 ma hope o ka hana ʻana o Wale i kahi remix ʻae ʻole. Ua loaʻa i ka remix ka manaʻo nui a ua hoʻi hou ke mele kumu a Young ma nā papa mele.
ʻO Young Thug Awards a me nā mea i loaʻa
I ka makahiki 2013, ua kapa ʻia ʻo ia i kekahi o nā "25 rappers hou e makaʻala ai" i loko o ka makasina Fashion bi-monthly.
Ua koho ʻia ʻo Young Thug no ka BET Hip Hop Awards ma 2014. Aia ka mea pena i nā ʻāpana "Who Blew Up", "Best Hip-Hop Style" a me "Best Club Banger-for Stoner". I ka makahiki aʻe, ua koho ʻia ʻo ia no ka BET Coca-Cola Viewers' Choice Award no kāna mele "Throw Sum Mo" me Nicki Minaj lāua ʻo Ray Sremmurd.
ʻO Young Thug Artist Personal Life and Legacy
I ka iwakāluakūmālima, ua loaʻa iā ia ʻeono mau keiki me ʻehā wahine. I kēia manawa ua hoʻopalau ʻo ia iā Jerrika Carla. ʻO ia ka luna o ka laina lole ʻauʻau.
ʻOiai he mea kaulana ka mea rapper i kēia manawa, ʻaʻole hiki iā ia ke pale aku i ka honua o ka hewa. I ka makahiki 2015, ua hopu ʻia ʻo ia no ka "hoʻoweliweli hoʻoweliweli" i kona hoʻoweliweli ʻana e pepehi i kahi kiaʻi palekana ma kahi hale kūʻai ma Atlanta.
