OK. Wow. Lot going on here. Young Thug is one of this century’s most important rappers, but he’s been going through some things lately. Last year, Thug was freed from jail after an extremely long RICO trial that had tons of consequences. After the longest trial in Georgia history, Thug accepted a plea deal that’ll keep him on probation for 15 years, mostly barred from his Atlanta hometown during that time. Thug didn’t release much music after he was freed, though he announced plans for a new album called UY Scuti, named for a red supergiant that maybe the largest star in the known universe. That album is out today, but its release is a complicated affair.
