It’s been a turbulent ride since Young Thug 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 album arrived on Friday (Sept. 26).

Thugger set the table for UY Scuti with the Future-assisted “Money on Money” in April. He followed up with “Miss My Dogs” earlier in September, which found him apologizing and addressing some major figures in his life, including girlfriend Mariah the Scientist, Drake, Gucci Mane, 21 Savage, Future and Lil Baby.

The Atlanta native’s last album, Business Is Business, was released in June 2023 while Thug was still behind bars. The LP debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with 89,000 total album units earned.
UY Scuti 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.
Thug pivoted to Sept. 26 out of respect for Cardi B, who dropped her Am I the Drama? album on Sept. 19. “Yall know I wasn’t dropping Friday. It’s a ladies day,” he wrote to X. And Cardi replied, “And you better step next week …you got this, You know this !!”
Thugger explained to GQ in April about why he titled the project UY Scuti. “I just feel big, you know. The name of my album UY Scuti. I feel like I’m one of the biggest stars,” he said. “I did a lot. Founding this culture. The new rap game that’s happening right now. I’m out of this world. Not like God, though.”
Young Thug spent Wednesday (Sept. 24) at the Los Angeles federal courthouse supporting his friend Metro Boomin, who was facing trial in his civil sexual assault lawsuit.
