Young Thug made good on his promise from earlier this week and released Beautiful Thugger Girls, a 14-song project that finds the Atlanta rapper showcasing his singing skills alongside guest features from Future, Snoop Dogg, and up-and-coming artist Millie Go Lightly.
Thugger kept promo for Beautiful Thugger Girls light, only sharing the cover art and trailer this week. And while the latter item was controversial, it played a major part in getting fans hyped for what he had in store:

14-year-old Angelina Small, a.ka. Dunk, did the makeup for the tailer. Over the phone, she told Complex that she got into sfx (special effects) makeup around last Halloween and "just fell in love with it." Based on previews of her work on Instagram, it's clear she's got talent.
So how did a teen with a passion for makeup land a big-time role on Young Thug's latest project? "My dad’s friend Kieva has a friend named Rhonnie and she’s Young Thug’s hair stylist," Angelina told Complex. "So Kieva sent Rhonnie some pictures and Rhonnie emailed my dad."
From there, Angelina was hired to work on-set for footage to be used in the album trailer that starred Mai, a model out of Atlanta.
"It was amazing, I loved it a lot," Angelina added.
