Both A$AP Rocky and Young Thug have been through the ringer recently (to say the absolute least). They have both beaten the charges stacked against them and are back outside to take over the rap world — and beyond.
Rocky has been busy getting Rihanna pregnant (again), being co-chair for the Met Gala, and working with acting legends like Denzel Washington. Meanwhile, Thugga has been putting his Twitter fingers to work, leaving no doubt of how he feels about people who take the stand and teasing the UY SCUTI era. However, in a sudden plot twist, it seems the two have found time to work on a collab tape aside from their own respective projects.
A$AP Illz gives his confirmation
While on a livestream with Digital Nas, Illz stated that Rocky and Thugga have a new album in the works as the producer looked at him in disbelief.
“That’s the biggest announcement that I have f****** heard…Flacko and Thugga are about to break the Internet,” Nas said on the stream.
Let’s just take a quick look at the track record here. Rocky’s DON’T BE DUMB was supposed to drop last August. It didn’t. Thugga’s UY SCUTI was slated for this month — but surprise! It got delayed to June. So yeah, forgive us if we’re not holding our breath on a collab that wasn’t even supposed to exist five minutes ago.
If this album does drop, it’ll be the most unexpected miracle since Frank Ocean remembered he was a musician. Two of the biggest rappers from the last decade, linking up to end the drought of their solo careers with a collab project? Madness. But until then, all we’ve got is hope, chaos, and a suspiciously long list of “coming soon” projects.
At the very least, it’s good for a laugh — and 300 tweets clowning the situation. Because if you can’t get new music from Rocky or Thug, at least you can meme about it.
