Young Thug

[HIP HOP] 2015 should be a big year for Young Thug. After releasing seven mixtapes since 2011 (including two on Gucci Mane’s record label, 1017, and one on Cash Money Records), the Atlanta rapper will finally drop a full length studio album with producer Metro Boomin under the alias Metro Thuggin this spring.

The end credits of Focus identify as a production advisor Apollo Robbins, and if you know who that is you’ll know what kind of movie you’re in for. Robbins is possibly the world’s greatest pickpocket, at least among those willing to identify themselves in public. He doesn’t steal, at least not permanently; instead he makes a living as a showman and as a security consultant, using the skills he learned from his father and brother as amplified by his own research into the workings of the human brain.
