During the opening moments of “Gotta Love Us,” the first song on the Young Stoner Life compilation Slime Language 3, BSlime explains why Young Thug‘s label is thriving: “We doing everything we supposed to do,” he says matter of factly. What follows is confirmation after confirmation of that assertion. While Young Thug is obviously a constant throughout the third Slime Language compilation, the sprawling 41-song album shines because of the new talent Thugger has identified and cultivated. Atlanta upstarts like Tezzus and diamond* consistently steal the show. This new wave of ATL superstars has also attracted a ton of friends to come through for the coronation. “Tezzus & diamond*” features the song’s namesakes alongside Quavo and Cash Cobain, while “Eaters” is handled by Thugger and Tezzus, alongside contemporaries like Yeat, Travis Scott, and Future. On Slime Language 3, different eras of Atlanta’s rap hierarchy collide to help forge its next chapter.
