    Beautiful Thugger Girls--which lists Drake as executive producer--pushes the boundaries of Atlanta hip-hop while adding yet another groundbreaking project to the trapper's discography.

    Few artists manage to balance wide-eyed eroticism with genuine warmth, and fewer manage the feat while packing multiple albums’ worth of hooks into each song. For Thug, it’s just his default mode.

    The more you listen, the more you’re likely to find, and the more you find, the more you’re likely to like Beautiful Thugger Girls. It’s not quite as endlessly explorable as Jeffery and doesn’t quite project the same confidence and swagger.

    This is one of his best packages, and it was well worth the wait and all the twists and turns in between.

    Thug sounds the best he’s ever sounded, despite some of the songs begin fairly far removed from his proverbial comfort zone.

    The album feels unprecedented within his catalog because it strikes a balance Thug has never quite pulled off on a single project: mixing a unified, album-wide sound with moments of aggressive experimentation and nagging hooks.

    There’s little of Future’s jadedness. If in the past Thug has made everyday experiences seem chaotic and formless, his achievement here is distilling the murky waters of young love and lust into vital, undeniable pop.

    Beautiful Thugger Girls is remarkable because of its Thugger-ness--it’s a clear step forward at the very moment that Thug-derivation is a particularly viable come-up.

    Very Innovative for modern hip-hop. Not the best lyrically, but the way he plays with his flow and cadence is very creative. Thug has done aVery Innovative for modern hip-hop. Not the best lyrically, but the way he plays with his flow and cadence is very creative. Thug has done a good job of separating himself from his contemporaries and creating his own lane. This album is a clear reflection of that.… Full Review »
