Young Thug Announces New Album UY Scuti, Dropping This May, Cover Art Unveiled

Atlanta rap icon Young Thug is officially back. The YSL rapper took to social media to announce his upcoming album UY Scuti, set to drop in May. In true Thugger fashion, the announcement was cryptic yet explosive. Posting a fiery visual and the caption, “It’s time. Red Planet,” he included a link to his official website, where fans can now pre-order the album and check out exclusive merch.

The title UY Scuti is a reference to one of the largest known stars in the universe, and fans are already speculating that Thug’s aiming for something out of this world with his next project—both sonically and thematically.

While he’s kept most details under wraps, the surprise announcement has ignited a wave of excitement online, especially after a quiet stretch in the wake of ongoing legal battles. If the title and teaser are any indication, UY Scuti may mark a bold new chapter in Young Thug’s career.

Stay tuned for the tracklist, potential features, and more as the May release date approaches.
