Young Thug Gears Up for Takeoff With Upcoming Album 'Uy Scuti'

After a long silence, Young Thug is back—and he's aiming for the stars. The Atlanta rap icon has officially announced his new album, Uy Scuti, and from everything we’ve seen so far, it’s going to be a wild ride.

What’s Uy Scuti, Anyway?

If you're not up on your astronomy, Uy Scuti is the name of one of the largest stars in the known universe. Leave it to Young Thug to choose a title that’s both unexpected and cosmic. It’s a bold statement, but it fits. After everything he’s been through, it feels like he’s not just dropping a project—he’s launching a new era.

“This ain’t just an album—it’s a whole new orbit,” Thug said on Instagram Live, flashing that trademark grin.

Features, Production & Rumors

While the full tracklist hasn’t dropped yet, we know Uy Scuti is stacked with heavy hitters. So far, features from Future, 21 Savage, and Gunna are confirmed. And if the online chatter is true, we might even get appearances from Travis Scott and SZA.

On the production side, names like Metro Boomin, Wheezy, and Mike WiLL Made-It are already locked in—so expect that signature Thug blend of chaotic trap and melodic genius.

Thug's First Big Drop Since Legal Trouble

Uy Scuti marks Thug’s first full-length release since the RICO case that rocked the rap world in 2022. After months of court dates and speculation, Thug is using music to reassert control of his narrative.

Sources close to the artist say this album reflects where he is mentally and emotionally—surviving, evolving, and still pushing creative boundaries.

Visuals & Lead Single Incoming

Promo visuals show Thug floating through space, tethered to a golden microphone. There’s even buzz about an upcoming short film directed by Cole Bennett to go with the album rollout. As for the lead single, it's rumored to be titled Black Hole, and may feature a surprise guest appearance by Kendrick Lamar.

Whether you’ve been riding with Young Thug since Barter 6 or just caught on with So Much Fun, this next chapter is looking massive. Uy Scuti is more than an album title—it’s a signal. Thug’s not done. He’s just getting started.

We’ll keep you posted with updates, tracklists, and first impressions once the project drops. Until then, get ready.
