Curious Case of Young Thug & YSL

A few months ago, Grammy award-winning artist Young Thug and his record label, YSL, were indicted on state RICO charges in Georgia. As a result of this, the Hip-Hop community has shifted in a major way. One of the most prominent labels in the rap industry is looked at as a dangerous street gang in the city of Atlanta. Recently, Young Thug seems to catch a break in his case. In Tyler Fingert's article, he discusses how the DA over Young Thug's case has asked for the trial to be delayed. While this doesn't exactly prove his innocence or guilt, it allows more time for he and his co-defendants to better prepare for trial. Although he has been in jail while awaiting trial, his fanbase has only been growing since his time of being arrested. With the trial now being slated for March 27th instead of the original January 7th date, the campaign to free Young Thug and his labelmates will continue to grow even more.
