A certain red supergiant star serves as the inspiration behind the title of Young Thug<\/a>\u2019s new album, UY Scuti<\/em>,<\/a> out now<\/a>.<\/p>\n Much has changed since the 2023 launch of Business Is Business<\/em><\/a>, Thug\u2019s most recent studio project. At the time, the 2025 ComplexCon headliner<\/a> was still more than a year away from freedom as he awaited the outcome of Georgia\u2019s YSL RICO case. Freedom came in October, followed six months later by the release of the first official taste of UY Scuti<\/em> with the Future-featuring \u201cMoney on Money<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n More recently, Thug found himself in a thoughtful and apologetic state of mind with \u201cMiss My Dogs,\u201d which boasted direct mentions of Drake and more<\/a>. As we reported at the time, Drake is a seemingly fan of the mention, though he hasn\u2019t elaborated beyond liking Thug\u2019s lyrics-focused Instagram update about the track.<\/p>\n UY Scuti<\/em> \u00ees out now<\/a> on Apple Music, etc. Fans looking for a more tangible listening experience should consult Complex Shop, where you can pick up the latest from Thug in a variety of formats<\/a> including vinyl, CD, and various boxed set options. Among the latter is one featuring the What Would Brian Do tee, marking a nod to Thug\u2019s attorney<\/a>, Brian Steel.<\/p>\n Back in August<\/a>, Steel made headlines when he called Thug a \u201chero\u201d for his work in showing that \u201cthe criminal justice system is corrupt and prosecutors, at times, hide evidence.\u201d<\/p>\n Young Thug\u2019s long-awaited fourth studio album UY SCUTI<\/em> drops Friday night, alongside exclusive SP5DER merch<\/a> that’s now available at Complex. Fans can grab the vinyl in several alternate covers, including a special SP5DER edition, as well as four SP5DER x UY SCUTI<\/em> box sets featuring the CD, a shirt, hoodie, and shorts.<\/p>\n
