Young Thug is fresh off the release of his So Much Fun album, but he’s already looking ahead to his next LP. In the cover story for The FADER’s 20th anniversary issue, Thugger reveals he’s working on a new project titled Punk.
“It’s most definitely touching music,” Thug says. “It’s music that the world is going to embrace. Punk means brave, not self centered, conscious. Very, very neglected, very misunderstood. Very patient, very authentic.”
Continuing on, Thugger goes to reveal his idea of bring “real rap” back.
“[Real rap is] letting people in, letting people know what you go through. Let them know that you the same,” he said. “I just want to open up. Let people know that I’m not just a rapper, I’m a human being. Let people know whatever they go through, I done been through or somebody done been through it. Those are the things that make people grow. People that want to commit suicide, you might give them another chance.”
As far as when PUNK will arrive, Thug said he’d like to drop within “two months.” Considering the interview is from July, we could be getting it as soon as next month. Until then, we’ll just keeping having SO MUCH FUN.
