Young Thug can now be considered a vet in the rap music game just as much as he is a trendsetter. He is no stranger to the Billboard Top 10, but snagging the top spot on the highly regarded chart is an accomplishment many artists have or will never see. Say what you want about how he raps (or sings), dresses or sexuality - but you can't say that the man doesn't make hits.

The rapper's latest album, So Much Fun, was recieved well by peers and fans. Features include many of the hottest rappers out today such as: Gunna, Future, Lil'Baby, MGK, Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Keed, 21 Savage, Travis Scott, J.Cole and more.
