Brian Steel On Representing Young Thug And Why The Justice System Is Broken

T.I. sits down with acclaimed criminal defense attorney Brian Steel for a revealing conversation about representing Young Thug, the historic YSL RICO trial, and the criminal justice system’s treatment of hip-hop artists. Steel explains how he became Young Thug’s attorney, why he believed the case was defensible, and what ultimately led Young Thug to accept a plea deal after spending approximately two and a half years in custody.

He and T.I. also debate the use of rap lyrics as evidence, pretrial detention, coerced pleas, celebrity targeting, and a justice system that disproportionately affects poor and minority communities. This is an unfiltered look at the case, the man behind the headlines, and why Brian Steel believes hip-hop is under attack.
