It’s Slime time.
Young Thug has announced that his long-awaited album So Much Fun will drop this Friday, Aug. 16. He cleared out his Instagram account to reveal the release date and cover art, which features hundreds miniature Thugs who come together to form his face on a grassy field, while he carves out the album title with a lawn mower.
The artwork received praise from his friends including A$AP Ferg, who wrote, “Art work is amazing,” while Lil Nas X added, “cover go crazy.”
The album is reportedly being executive produced by J. Cole, who also appears on the single “The London,” which also features Travis Scott. In May, Thug previewed a collaboration with Nipsey Hussle, which could appear on the project.
