J. Cole will executive produce Young Thug’s upcoming album. According to Complex, sources close to the publication confirmed the news. In addition, Complex reports that the pair have already started initial recording sessions in New York. No other details have been revealed about the project.
J. Cole has previously spoken highly of Young Thug, referring to him as “an innovator” in an interview with Angie Martinez last year.
“If you want to talk about Young Thug as an artist, he’s an innovator. If you know skills, you call him a mumble rapper all you want, but if you know skills and you know the art of rapping, that dude is a genius.”
Young Thug has been teasing fans with previews of new music over the last couple of weeks. The title of the new album is unknown, but could possibly be named GØ?DMØÜFDÖG, Barter 7, Hy!£UN35, or any of the other unreleased projects Thug has teased.
