YSL Records (officially Young Stoner Life Records, allegedly Young Slime Life Records) is an American record label based in Atlanta, Georgia. It was founded in 2016 by the Atlanta-based rapper Young Thug.[1] The company is a label imprint of 300 Entertainment.[2] Its artists include Gunna,[3] Lil Keed and more. Several contemporary artists,[4] including Drake, Future, Lil Uzi Vert, Playboi Carti, Lil Baby, Lil Gotit, NAV, Travis Scott, and Slimelife Shawty have expressed allegiance to YSL, but are not contractually signed.
The label received much media attention after being embroiled in a major criminal trial since 2022, with Young Thug, Gunna, and other YSL members arrested and indicted on racketeering and various gang-related charges in violation of Georgia's RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) Act. Authorities allege that YSL is a record label and street gang.
