Kevin Liles testifies during Young Thug's bond hearing

The relationship between music industry veteran Kevin Liles and Young Thug runs deep. During a bond hearing on Thursday (June 2), Liles took the stand to speak about his connection to the Atlanta-bred emcee who was indicted on 56 counts of RICO charges last month (May 10). “I’m kind of emotional because of how good this guy is,” Liles expressed. “I’ve been in this music thing called hip hop for 38 years and for the life of me, I don’t understand why I have to testify of the good that hip hop has done around the world. I have also started a company with Jeffery called Young Stoner Life and I remember what he said to me, ‘We’re not just starting a company, we’re gonna change some lives.’ And that’s what he’s done and he’s definitely changed mine.” Audio *Here*
