Young Thug’s 2015 mixtape “Slime Season 2” has made its way to digital streaming platforms, marking an exciting moment for fans of the Atlanta rapper. This 22-track project kicks off with the energetic “Big Racks,” featuring Lil Uzi Vert, and includes the popular track “Thief in the Night,” a collaboration with the late Trouble. Other notable songs from the mixtape are “Hey, I,” “Pull Up on a Kid” with Yak Gotti, “Raw (Might Just),” and the poignant “Never Made Love,” which is one of the last collaborations with Rich Homie Quan.
The mixtape features contributions from prominent artists like Birdman and Shad da God, with production from notable names including Metro Boomin, Southside, Supah Mario, and TM88. In a review from 2015, Spin’s Paul Thompson highlighted that the project provides context and direction to Young Thug’s extensive catalog, describing it as a long, cohesive crescendo.
The release comes at a time when Young Thug is reportedly working on new music following a challenging period. After accepting a plea deal that includes 15 years of probation, the rapper has faced significant personal losses, including the death of four loved ones and his sister in 2023. Despite these hardships, Young Thug’s sister has reassured fans that he is dedicated to creating new music.
In addition to the streaming release, pre-orders for vinyl editions of all three installments in the “Slime Season” series are available, featuring a custom box, posters, and cards. Young Thug is also set to appear on Lil Baby’s upcoming album, “WHAM (Who Hard As Me),” scheduled to release on January 3, 2025. Recently, he has been collaborating with other major artists such as T.I., Future, and Travis Scott. Additionally, Young Thug has addressed recent leaks involving personal conversations, showcasing his openness to engage with fans amid his ongoing journey in the music industry.
