He first received attention from collaboration with Birdman and Gucci Mane, along with his collaboration with other rappers such as Rich Homie Quan, Lil Baby, and Gunna. Thug initally released a series of independent mixtapes beginning in 2011 with I Came from Nothing. In early 2013, he signed with Gucci Mane's 1017 Records note who he left in 2014 after Gucci was imprisoned for the last time around that year , and later that year he released his label debut mixtape 1017 Thug to critical praise.Young Thug received mainstream recognition in 2014 with the singles "Stoner" and "Danny Glover" in addition to appearances on several singles, including T.I.'s "About the Money", Tyga's "Hookah", and Rich Gang's "Lifestyle." After getting the attention of many label-heads such as his then-manager Birdman, he was later signed to Lyor Cohen's 300 Entertainment and later collaborated with Birdman's Rich Gang on the mixtape Rich Gang: Tha Tour Pt. 1. In 2015, he released a number of mixtapes, including Barter 6 and two installments of his Slime Season series. These were followed in 2016 by the commercial mixtapes I'm Up, Slime Season 3, and Jeffery. In 2018, he released a compilation album Slime Language showcasing the artists signed to his own label YSL Records.Young Thug also became known for his feature on the 2017 hit song "Havana" by pop singer Camila Cabello, which reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in January 2018, becoming Young Thug's first number one and top ten single.

The Rival | |
| Young Thug (Music) / int_1c3d047e | comment |
The Rival: Had a beef with his idol Lil Wayne around the time of Wayne's beef with Birdman, the co-founder and CEO of his then-label Cash Money Records, for not releasing the widely anticipated and frequently delayed Tha Carter V. During this time, Birdman primarily focused on the short-lived Rich Gang collective alongside Thug and fellow Atlanta-based rapper Rich Homie Quan. It didn't help that Thug allegedly had ties with Wayne's tour bus shooting in April 2015, in which one of Birdman's and Thug's affiliates Jimmy Winfrey, better known as Peewee Roscoe, was arrested and later convicted of the shooting and was later sentenced to 10 years in prison and probation. To add insult to injury, Thug was originally going to call his debut commercial mixtape Tha Carter 6 before renaming it to Barter 6 following a legal action by Wayne during his beef with Birdman and his label. The beef with Wayne was eventually settled, and Wayne confirmed that they recorded a track together in 2020. That same year, they released a remix to Travis Scott and Thug's track "Out West", with Thug also adding a new verse, which appeared on Wayne's No Ceilings 3 mixtape.. Thug and Quan's friendship eventually soured, and they are no longer on speaking terms. | |
