I never ever cracked under pressure on those types of things. I always kept a balance, and I was able to overcome any type of obstacle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/young-thug-gunna-hot-fallon-901551\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Rolling Stone<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Young Thug performed his recent single \u201cHot\u201d on The Tonight Show with the help of featured artist Gunna and Temple University Diamond Marching Band.
