\n\tIt\u2019s been a turbulent ride since Young Thug <\/a>was released from jail in October 2024. Nearly 11 months later, Thugger finally returns to speak out with his music, as the highly anticipated UY Scuti<\/em> album arrived on Friday (Sept. 26).<\/p>\n \n\tThugger set the table for UY Scuti<\/em> with the Future-assisted \u201cMoney on Money\u201d in April. He followed up with \u201cMiss My Dogs\u201d<\/a> earlier in September, which found him apologizing and addressing some major figures in his life, including girlfriend\u00a0Mariah the Scientist,<\/a>\u00a0Drake,\u00a0<\/a>Gucci Mane,<\/a>\u00a021 Savage<\/a>, Future<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Lil Baby.<\/a><\/p>\n \n\tThe Atlanta native\u2019s last album, Business Is Business<\/em>, was released in June 2023 while Thug was still behind bars. The LP debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200<\/a> with 89,000 total album units earned. <\/p>\n \n\tUY Scuti<\/em> <\/em>suffered plenty of delays before arriving, as the project was previously rumored to be released in May and June, before getting pushed to Sept. 19.<\/p>\n \n\tThug pivoted to Sept. 26 out of respect for Cardi B, <\/a>who dropped her Am I the Drama?<\/em> album on Sept. 19. \u201cYall know I wasn\u2019t dropping Friday. It\u2019s a ladies day,\u201d he wrote to X. And Cardi replied, \u201cAnd you better step next week \u2026you got this, You know this !!\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tThugger explained to GQ <\/a><\/em>in April about why he titled the project UY Scuti<\/em>. \u201cI just feel big, you know. The name of my album UY Scuti<\/em><\/em>. I feel like I\u2019m one of the biggest stars,\u201d he said. \u201cI did a lot. Founding this culture. The new rap game that\u2019s happening right now. I\u2019m out of this world. Not like God, though.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tYoung Thug spent Wednesday (Sept. 24) at the Los Angeles federal courthouse supporting his friend <\/a>Metro Boomin, who was facing trial in his civil sexual assault lawsuit.<\/a><\/p>\n \n\tStream UY Scuti<\/em><\/em><\/em> below.<\/p>\n
