Although Young Thug pulled a fast one on us, and decided to drop a 9-song project titled I'm Up, instead of Slime Season 3, the good news is, SS3 is still coming.
Many fans have been quick to point out the differences between past Slime Season releases and I'm Up. Apart from the slimmed down tracklist (past SS releases hover around 20 records), the mixing and mastering on I'm Up is notably weaker than past releases, in addition to the amount of features-- Thugger's a dude who could drop 20 songs without one other name attached to them. So perhaps SS3 wasn't quite finished yet, and this is just something to hold us over?
This morning on Instagram Thugger confirmed that SS3 is still "OTW," while his video director Be EL Be has been tweeting about the album too. He confirms with a fan that SS3 will be a "whole different tape," as well as going on to reveal that there will be an option to buy SS3 (so there will likely be a free version).
Check out his tweets below. Thoughts on I'm Up?
