Atlanta witnessed an unexpected musical event as rapper Young Thug hosted a surprise concert on September 28. The free concert was held outside the Lewis R. Slaton Courthouse, the very location where he faced his YSL RICO trial nearly a year ago.
The performance, which was announced through a flyer on social media, attracted a vibrant crowd of enthusiastic fans. For those unable to attend, the concert was livestreamed on platforms like YouTube and Twitch. Significant preparations were evident as the entire block in front of the courthouse was cordoned off for the event.
Young Thug opened the concert with the heartfelt track “RIP Big & Mack,” followed by a lively set that included “Whaddup Jesus,” “Blaming Jesus,” “Catch Me I’m Falling,” “Ski,” “Digits,” and concluded with “F**king Told You.” Notably, this concert marked the first live performance for several songs from his much-anticipated new album, UY SCUTI.
Young Thug has been out of custody for nearly one year since the conclusion of his trial. He initially faced restrictions as part of his supervised release, including a ban from entering the Atlanta Metro area. However, in December, a judge lifted this restriction, allowing the artist to perform in Atlanta once again. Since then, Young Thug has graced various stages and festivals, including Lyrical Lemonade’s Summer Smash.
His new album, UY SCUTI, features an extensive collection of 20 tracks, showcasing collaborations with notable artists such as Future, Lil Baby, YFN Lucci, Lil Gotit, Cardi B, Sexyy Red, T.I., and 21 Savage. Young Thug reflected on his journey during the trial and expressed gratitude for the opportunity to perform at the courthouse, highlighting the significance of the location.
This surprise concert not only marked a significant moment for Young Thug as an artist but also served as a milestone in his personal journey, signaling a return to the stage with a renewed spirit after facing legal challenges.
