Multi-platinum, GRAMMY award-winning artist, Young Thug earns his second #1 album of 2021 as PUNK debuts at the top of the Billboard 200 Albums Chart.

PUNK, released via Young Stoner Life/300 Entertainment, is Thug’s second album release of the year, following his and Young Stoner Life Records’ compilation album Slime Language 2, which also debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 in April 2021. PUNK is also Thug’s third #1 album, following Slime Language 2 and 2019’s So Much Fun.

PUNK features include J. Cole, Future, Drake, Travis Scott, Doja Cat, Juice WRLD, Post Malone, Nate Ruess, Young Stoner Life labelmate Gunna and more. 

Recognized worldwide as the godfather of new wave rap, Young Thug has broken convention at every single turn and reinvented the sound of popular music; his Grammy award-winning, platinum-selling records have paved the way for generations beyond him. In 2020, he achieved fourteen Billboard charting hits with no album release and released records by artists including Gunna and Lil Keed through Young Stoner Life Records, of which he is the Founder and CEO.
