Thug grew to prominence in 2013 after releasing his mixtape 1017 Thug to positive critical reception. He has collaborated with artists such as Gucci Mane, Young Scooter, Rich Homie Quan and Waka Flocka Flame.

Thug was born amongst the masses eliminating any doubt that he wouldn’t be special. The second youngest child of 11 children developed a skill for standing out amongst many, early. Young Thug moved to Jonesboro, an impoverished suburb of Georgia where his lifestyle was engrossed by the crime, drug addiction and violence that surrounded him. It was there that he developed an insatiable appetite to succeed his current situation. After discovering and acknowledging his talent and creativity for music in 2010, Thug started a new hustle that would soon mature as one of the most promising music careers in the South. He also founded the record label YSL ( Young Stoner/Slatt Life) in 2010.

Eyeballing the throne of Hip hop royalty, Young Thug began to create a sound and style that would inevitably place him on top. Young Thug’s catchy verses and raw lyrical talent distinguished noise from art, clearly being the latter his creations are the best that remain of Southern hip hop. He is the embodiment of the evolution of Southern hip-hop. Young Thug is the representative for a generation that doesn't see hip-hop as a hobby but a lifestyle. Keeping true to himself, his art, and his home Young Thug will stand alone as the one true savior of the Southern movement.

2. Young Thug aka The Demon Child is hardcore/horrorcore rapper/beatmaker from Central France. Often collaborated with Lil Prod. Also he made 2 albums under the alias Da Mystic Terror, in these 2 albums he changed his voice to make it sounds like it's an other person rapping.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "My Boys" by Young Thug feat. Trouble Ralo & Lil Durk is a testament to the loyalty that rappers commonly have for their close circle, their "boys." The lyrics describe the brotherhood shared by the three rappers, Lil Durk, Trouble Ralo and Young Thug, who come from a similar background and have battled their way to success, through robbing to selling drugs to music. The opening of the song pays tribute to the real ones, who understand the struggles and hardships experienced as they climbed the ladder of success. They celebrate their accomplishment, bonding over shared experiences they've had when they were young.

The lyrics also speak to the dangers and risks that come with their success. Living in a world where their enemies could come after them, they must have each other's backs. They make it clear that they will protect their own, light up their enemies like Christmas lights, and avoid getting caught up in any unnecessary trouble unless it's for their boys. The last verse speaks to the long history shared by Lil Durk and his gang, with Lil Durk even having swung on his teacher for his friend in elementary. The lyrics converge to celebrate and honor their shared past, which has led to their present-day success.
