The gang committed multiple murders, shootings and carjackings over roughly a decade and promoted its activities in songs and on social media, prosecutors allege in an 88-page indictment that charges him, rapper Gunna — whose real name is Sergio Kitchens — aspiring rapper Christian Eppinger and 24 others with racketeering.  Eppinger was already in jail, accused of shooting an Atlanta police officer six times in February.  Young Thug, prosecutors said Thursday, is “the top dog, the most dangerous man here, because he doesn’t have to get his hands dirty, he has others to do his business,” Atlanta station WXIA-TV reported.  Williams has been in custody since his arrest last month at his home in an upscale neighborhood north of downtown Atlanta. His attorneys presented several witnesses to counter the image prosecutors painted, pointing to the musician's community involvement. Music executive Kevin Liles testified that Williams was “like a son” and he was willing to put up his own wealth and business behind a bond.  The rapper, he said, “is not just an artist - he’s an influencer, a person I think was put here to change the people around him” and a “contributing citizen to this world.”  Young Thug co-wrote the hit “This is America” with Childish Gambino, making history when it became the first hip-hop track to win the song of the year Grammy in 2019.  An expected trial date, the judge said, would be Jan. 9, 2023   Fund your wallet and earn $10 with this Coinbase referral Code:  https://coinbase.com/join/alli_o4?src=ios-link  Get 20% off your trades at Binance.US with this referral code:  https://accounts.binance.us/en/register?ref=54445735  Coin Market cap Watchlist  https://coinmarketcap.com/watchlist/6207207f3ffd245e821fd7c3
