Birdman revealed plans last year to release Rich Gang II: Lifestyles album. While that's yet to come into fruition and both Birdman and Young Thug have been occupied with their own solo efforts in 2017, they come together to deliver the video for "Lil One."
"Lil One" was never formally released but was leaked on the web around October of 2017. Today, Birdman and Young Thug give it an official drop with an accompanying video for the song. It shines a spotlight of the "Rich Gang" lifestyle with the duo flexing in a mansion while Paris Hilton cameos as the leading female in the video.
It's interesting timing considering that it was only a week and a half a go when Young Thug pledged his allegiance to Birdman on social media despite Birdman's controversial business practices.
