Yesterday Young Thug took to Instagram to unveil cover art for a new mixtape he has on the way, with production entirely from London On Da Track. The two often cook up fire together, so a full project of collaborations is welcome.
The news about Slime Season followed reports that Thugger was titling his next mixtape Carter V-- taking it upon himself to drop a project of that name since Lil Wayne is not. It appears he changed his mind and went with Slime Season, but we're still seeing a jab at Weezy with Slime Season's release date: July 4th. As just about everyone knows, Lil Wayne announced the fourth of July would be the release date for his anticipated Free Weezy Album, so either Thugger is extremely oblivious to the going-ons of the hip-hop world, or else it's purposeful. Although Thug has openly expressed his love for Wayne in the past, calling the rapper his idol, things took a sour turn when Wayne did not reciprocate Thug's affection.
Wayne doesn't always stick to his proposed release dates either way, so we'll have to see if both these projects actually do drop the same day. Which one are you downloading?
