‘Money’ Talks: Young Thug Is Back With Future-Featuring Single

Atlanta rapper Young Thug’s first new song since being released from prison last year has arrived. “Money on Money” features Future and production by Southside, Wheezy, Beatzbyrrose, Dez Wright and 9jay. Its accompanying video, directed by Kaito and Brendan O’Connor, is out now.

The song is the first preview of the artist’s fourth album, UY Scuti, which will be released this summer by Young Stoner Life Records/300 Entertainment. The project takes its name from the red supergiant star in the constellation Scutum, which is nearly 6,000 light years away from earth.
