Young Thug is making moves to reclaim his place in the hip-hop scene after being released from jail last week.
The Atlanta rapper spent two and a half years behind bars, a significant stretch that followed a tumultuous trial related to the YSL RICO case, which became the longest-running trial in Georgia state history.
Having accepted a plea deal, Thug now faces a 15-year probation term but seems eager to jump back into the music industry.
