The Slime family just went international. On Saturday night in Düsseldorf, Germany, Young Thug used a stop on his New Generation Tour to make it official: Brazilian rap star Oruam is the newest member of YSL Records.
And Thug didn’t do it with a press release — he did it the YSL way, live on stage. In front of the crowd at the PSD Bank Dome, Tezzus presented Oruam with a YSL chain and introduced him as the label’s newest artist, while the rest of the camp surrounded him with embraces. That’s how you welcome somebody to the family.
So how did a Brazilian trap star end up getting chained up in Germany by Atlanta royalty? The bridge was producer and YSL artist Yume, who was put onto Oruam’s music by Borges and connected the two over FaceTime. Thug heard the melodies, got in the booth, and already has a verse recorded with Oruam — the collaboration is in the can. After the show, the three of them even filmed a video together on the streets of Germany, though there’s no release date for the record just yet.
Oruam handled his business like a professional, too — he wrapped up his obligations with his former label home, Mainstreet, before making the YSL move official in Europe. He joins a roster that includes Strick, Yung Kayo, BSlime, 1300Saint and Yume, on a label that just dropped Slime Language 3 in August.
The tour keeps rolling — Łódź, Poland on October 21 and Paris on October 24 — but Saturday night in Düsseldorf is the one people will remember. Atlanta’s YSL just planted a flag in Brazil. Welcome to the family, Oruam. 🐍💚
