Young Nudy

Atlanta rapper Young Nudy came into the public eye with his 2016 mixtape Slimeball. The young artist employed a variety of styles in his somewhat surreal approach to rap, from a druggy, deadpan delivery to more-enthused triplet flows.

Following his breakthrough with Slimeball, he had a series of increasingly musically rich mixtapes like 2019's collaboration with Pi'erre Bourne, Sli'merre, the tense, creepy atmospheres of 2021's Dr. EV4L, and 2022's futuristic EA Monster.

Young Nudy was born Quantavious Thomas and came up as part of an immensely talented crop of rappers who included his cousins 21 Savage and Offset. Early on, he impressed producer Pi'erre Bourne, who would sneak Nudy into the studio off the clock to work on tracks for mixtapes.

While his first video appeared online as early as 2014 for a song titled "Off the Head," it was his 2016 mixtape Slimeball that ignited his fame worldwide. He quickly followed up the next year with Slimeball 2, which featured appearances from Juicy J and Peso.
