Young Thug Unveils New Album ‘Uy Scuti’ with Mysterious Red Planet Tease

After weeks of speculation, Young Thug has officially begun the rollout for his next studio album, Uy Scuti. The Atlanta artist took to social media on April 16 to drop the album’s title, cover art, and a link to a brand-new site featuring exclusive merch and physical editions.

The cryptic post simply read: “It’s time. Red Planet.” The linked website showcases a variety of merchandise including vinyl, CDs, and limited-edition apparel, all themed around the cosmic title.

Uy Scuti, named after one of the largest known stars in the universe, has been teased through various appearances — most notably at a recent NBA game where Thug held up a custom jersey labeled “UY SCUTI #5.” A fan-spotted billboard last week reading “UNIVERSE HAS BEEN TOO QUIET. UNTIL NOW.” only added to the excitement, hinting at a May 2025 release window.

This marks Thugger’s first major release since being released from jail, and anticipation is sky-high. Despite a bit of social media drama — including a spat with a fan who drew comparisons between him and Playboi Carti — Thug remains unfazed and focused on the drop.

Fans can now pre-order the album and gear up for what’s shaping up to be a bold, otherworldly era in Young Thug’s career.
