He signed to T.I.'s label Grand Hustle Records, an imprint of Atlantic Records, in 2006 and became Young Dro. "Shoulder Lean" was Young Dro's debut single under Grand Hustle; its video was heavily rotated on BET and MTV2, and its ringtone sold over 500,000 copies. Young Dro's major label debut Best Thang Smokin' was released in August 2006.1 "Shoulder Lean" peaked at #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and topped the Hot Rap Tracks chart. The next single was "Rubberband Banks", which peaked at #23 on the rap chart. He is planning to release a collaboration with Lupe Fiasco in the coming future. 2
