Young Thug has officially announced his comeback album, Uy Scuti.
The announcement comes after multiple cryptic posts, billboards, and jersey teases. The upcoming project will be his first full-length release since leaving jail in late 2024, following over two years of legal battles related to the YSL RICO case.
However, no tracklist or exact release date has been confirmed by the artist or his team. Physical copies of the record and merch are now available for pre-order, Hot New Hip-Hop reports. Fans have responded with notable enthusiasm to Young Thug's album announcement.
The beloved musician took to his official X (formerly Twitter) to drop the announcement, captioning:
"It's time. Red Planet"
A link was attached to the post that led netizens to a newly launched website for Uy Scuti. On the webpage, multiple editions of the album, including vinyl, CDs, and several merch bundles, were made available.
Among the most notable items, there is a t-shirt featuring the phrase "What Would Brian Do?" It is believed to be a nod to Young Thug's attorney Brian Steel, who successfully negotiated his release in October 2024, reports suggest.
Fan reactions to Young Thug's 'Uy Scuti' announcement
Netizens were quick to gather in the comment section of the X post featuring the album announcement, as they shared their reactions to Young Thug's comeback album. Below are some of the reactions:
"ALBUM OF THE SUMMER LOADING....", declared a fan.
"WE READY MR TRULY HUMBLE UNDER GOD", hyped another.
"With new billboard rules wouldn’t that mean album within 4 week", predicted a third.
"If the alternative cover is this good, I cant imagine how good the regular cover is", lauded a fourth.
Others also chimed in:
"I speak for everyone when I say we WILL be listening day one", stated an X user.
"We ready. The explanation of Young Thug's new album title "UY Scuti" the name of a red hypergiant star, known for being one of the largest stars discovered, with a diameter estimated to be around 1,700 times bigger than the Sun", penned another.
"Dear King Slime, please make an EU shop because $30 shipping for a $17 product is waaaay too much", commented a third.
"So excited and hyped to see how good this is gonna be considering the circumstances. Really hope he can still release old songs like Attachments and many other Juice collabs", expressed a fourth.
According to reports, the name Uy Scuti refers to one of the largest known stars in the universe. It is located thousands of light-years away in the Scutum constellation.
The title suggests possibly symbolic themes for the album, as Young Thug is reportedly positioning this comeback as something monumental. A billboard near the Coachella 2025 festival grounds earlier this month notably sparked fan speculation. The billboard read:
"UNIVERSE HAS BEEN TOO QUIET. UNTIL NOW. UY SCUTI."
The bottom line on the ad read: "5/??/25". It has led many to believe the album is due for release in May 2025.
