Young Thug has officially initiated the rollout for his highly anticipated new album, revealing the title to be UY Scuti along with the cover art and a selection of new merchandise. Taking to X, the rapper shared a simple yet impactful message: “It’s time. Red Planet,” followed by a link to a dedicated site for the album.
The newly launched website features various items for purchase, including a vinyl edition, a CD, and clothing associated with the album. The cover art has generated excitement among fans, showcasing Thug’s unique artistic vision.
Earlier this week, a billboard appeared that read: “UNIVERSE HAS BEEN TOO QUIET. UNTIL NOW. UY SCUTI,” with May 2025 indicated as the release month, though the exact date remains obscured by question marks. This announcement follows a recent appearance by Young Thug at a basketball game, where he held up a jersey emblazoned with “UY SCUTI #5,” further hinting at the album’s title and building anticipation among fans.
UY Scuti will mark Young Thug’s first album release since his incarceration, making it a significant moment in his career. The rapper recently engaged in a social media exchange with a fan who compared him to Playboi Carti, which sparked a heated but ultimately humorous back-and-forth. After the fan made a disparaging remark, they quickly apologized after Thug’s response went viral, acknowledging his impact on the music industry and retracting their statement.
The title UY Scuti refers to a supergiant star, and intriguingly, there is an Instagram account of the same name that exclusively follows Young Thug, suggesting a deeper connection to the album’s theme.
As the release date approaches, fans eagerly await what Young Thug has in store for them in this new chapter of his musical journey. With a fresh look and a strong message, UY Scuti promises to be a pivotal release for the artist, reaffirming his position within the hip-hop landscape.
