Young Thug’s Uy Scuti is already turning heads, but one track stands out for reasons that go beyond production.
“Whadda Up Jesus” features YFN Lucci, the Atlanta rapper once locked in a bitter feud with Thug. Their appearance on the same record is a surprise, doubling as both collaboration and symbolic ceasefire.
The record begins with Thug, alongside Future, before settling into a back-and-forth between Thug and Lucci. Thug’s chorus sets the tone, asking, “What you is? Big dog, what’s goin’ on?” He calls himself “havin’ motion,” an Atlanta phrase signaling power and influence.
The hook also drops brand names like Louis Vuitton, Ed Hardy, and Ken Carson, keeping the track rooted in fashion and status symbols that dominate hip-hop culture.
Thug’s first verse swings between heartfelt confession and swagger. He admits to deep attachment—“Can’t live without her, I’m sick, need a meddy”—then pivots to resilience, insisting he and his crew are “bosses” who no longer take losses. His words balance vulnerability with flexes, painting himself as both survivor and trendsetter.
The post-chorus shifts to a spiritual layer, as Thug calls on Jesus and salutes fallen friends. Lines like “No weapon / Made of steel, it’s gon’ haunt me” blur the line between gospel influence and the harsh realities of street survival.
Lucci follows with a harder edge. His verse leans on opulence—$5,500 jewelry, fleets of foreign cars, strip club generosity—but laces it with grit. His imagery is blunt, sometimes crude, yet always tethered to loyalty and respect. Even amid his brags, he underscores the cost of maintaining status in Atlanta’s streets.
Together, Thug and Lucci turn “Whadda Up Jesus” into more than a flashy record. It’s a statement of resilience, unity, and the unexpected power of reconciliation in Atlanta rap.

She bossed up, she don’t fuck with hoes that’s petty (Oh)
