Today we will take a look at two contemporaries in the rap world: Future and Young Thug. These two guys from Atlanta are prolific rappers in their own right, but they are also friends and collaborators. On this episode we will look at their contributions to hip-hop and what makes each of them special through the lens of six songs by each artist. Danny brought 6 Thugger songs, and Julius brought 6 Future Songs.

We'll talk about how they quickly developed their own styles separating them from their early influences, how they use emotion to drive their most powerful songs, and generally nerd out over some of our favorite lines from each.

Join us next week for a bonus episode where we break down some great features from these 2 artists. Check out the songs we picked below!
