Young Thug's RICO trial is about to get started -- during which prosecutors will present evidence backing their case & controversially, that will include some of his lyrics.
Opening arguments are scheduled to kick off Monday in Fulton County, where YT is facing serious charges ... including conspiracy, participating in criminal street gang activity, possession of a firearm & controlled substances charges, among others.
He's pleaded not guilty -- with his defense attorney insisting his name will be cleared through the proceedings.
Thug is just one of several individuals who've been charged in the sweeping case -- but he's a key defendant, as the feds allege he's one of the head honchos of YSL (Young Slime Life) ... which they claim is not only a music label/brand, but a violent criminal enterprise too.
The allegations against Thug and the other 27 co-defendants date back to 2015 & some defendants -- not Thug -- are facing murder, attempted murder and armed robbery charges. Even more alarming is the fact prosecutors are expected to cite specific lyrics YSL members have rapped to help build the case against them.
Songs prosecutors are looking at have been revealed. They include Young Thug's 2018 hit, "Anybody," plus tracks from YSL's 2020 compilation album like ... "Take it to Trial," "Ski" & "Slatty."
While Thug is about to have his day in court ... one of his cohorts & fellow labelmates, Gunna, already accepted a plea deal that saw him released from custody.
