Young Thug and Future Collaborate on New Track “Money on Money”
The dynamic duo of Young Thug and Future have teamed up once more, unveiling their latest collaboration titled “Money on Money.” This new single serves as the initial glimpse into Young Thug’s forthcoming album, which has generated significant anticipation among fans.
The release is complemented by a visually engaging music video, directed by Kaito and Brendan O’Connor. The video opens with an impactful shot of a burning rug emblazoned with the Young Stoner Life logo, transitioning to scenes of the rappers cruising through a shipping yard in an extravagant luxury vehicle. This cinematic approach enhances the song’s energy and appeals to the visual narrative common in modern hip-hop.
Young Thug has recently been hinting at a new album titled UY Scuti, expected to release this summer. This upcoming project will mark his first major release since his release from jail in the fall of 2024, where he pled guilty to charges related to gang activity. The album’s name draws inspiration from UY Scuti, a red supergiant star recognized as one of the largest known stars in the cosmos, possibly symbolizing a personal rebirth or a new chapter in Young Thug’s artistic journey.
Earlier this year, Young Thug made his return to the music scene by featuring alongside Future in Lil Baby’s track “Dum, Dumb, and Dumber,” signaling his comeback after incarceration. Additionally, he is set to embark on his first concerts since his release this summer, indicating a reinvigorated presence in the music industry.
Looking Ahead
The collaboration between Young Thug and Future underscores their enduring partnership and influence in the hip-hop realm. As they prepare for the summer album release, fans are eager to see what new themes and musical explorations UY Scuti will bring.
