Young Thug continues to dominate in 2016.

On Wednesday, the 25-year-old Atlanta rapper announced the official launch of his YSL Records imprint, which will be under the 300 Entertainment banner. Thugger shared the news via SnapChat, giving fans a sneak peek at the YSL office, the YLS team, and the YSL logo.

300 Entertainment co-founder Kevin Liles was featured in the snaps giving a motivating speech about Thug’s newest undertaking.

"The most important thing I could say to all of you guys, is not whether it was 300 or YSL—look at the guy who committed to us every single day," Liles said. "Always standing 300 with us. Him starting a new venture is going to take us to a different mindset. He's not just an artist in this particular case."

Now that there’s an official YSL command post, it shouldn’t be long before Thug starts announcing the label’s signees. We already know his friend and collaborator Duke will be included on the roster, but there hasn’t been much indication of who else will join him; however, in his 2014 Complex cover story, he revealed he wanted to create YSL Records to put his friends on.

Stay tuned to see whom he welcomes into the family. Until then, you can get a glimpse of YSL in the YouTube video above.
