Overview

• Young Thug announced the new release date via Instagram Story, writing “Next Friday” alongside a Southside-produced snippet.
• The move follows the release of “Miss My Dogs,” a seven-minute apology track addressing Mariah The Scientist, Drake, Future, Lil Baby, 21 Savage, and Gucci Mane.
• Recent leaked jail phone calls have driven backlash and strained relationships, shaping the tone and priorities of the rollout.
• Lead singles now include “Miss My Dogs” and April’s “Money On Money” with Future, with Future confirmed on the album and producers such as Southside and Metro Boomin reported.
• Some coverage suggests the one-week delay could be a strategic bid to sidestep crowded release slates, a rationale not confirmed by Thug.
