Rapper Young Thug is riding a horse around Atlanta to announce his tour


Young Thug, the prolific rapper perhaps best known for his affinity for women's Ugg boots and being almost entirely unintelligible, is doing what musicians do and going on tour. But, rather than issue a standard press release or tweet the show schedule to his almost-a-million followers, Thug decided to hop on the back of a horse and trot around (er, stand in front of) Plaza Theatre in the heart of his native Atlanta to really get the word out there.
It's all in a day's work for the artist that GQ calls "music's most colorful enigma." The Hy!£UN35 tour kicks off May 1, but until then — giddyup, Thug.
