J. Cole will officially executive produce Young Thug’s forthcoming album, according to Complex. Sources close to Thugger confirmed the two have started initial recording sessions in New York.
Considering Cole has been critical of mumble rappers in the past, he raised a few eyebrows when he announced Thug would be joining him on his massive 2018 KOD Tour. In a candid 2018 interview with Angie Martinez, Cole explained what he sees in the Jeffery mastermind.
“If you want to talk about Young Thug as an artist, he’s an innovator,” Cole said. “If you know skills, you call him a mumble rapper all you want, but if you know skills and you know the art of rapping, that dude is a genius.”

Thug has already teased numerous projects, including Barter 7 and Hy!£UN35. His upcoming project will serve as the follow-up to 2017’s Beautiful Thugger Girls.
Meanwhile, Cole is working on his next solo album as well. Dreamville Records announced the news last month.
This dude is a poser. Hes preachy on his albums then yours and works with mumble rappers. There’s a reason Kendrick didn’t wanna drop an album with him. Cause he lame af
Stfu takes a lame to know one.
so if you aren’t lame you can’t tell who is lame or not? sounds pretty lame
Must be a Lyor Cohen idea.
Just a really terrible knock-off Lil Wayne.
Anybody know what jacket is? I know it’s starter but what is the team? I want one

@Anyone? it is a Charlotte Hornets jacket
Who cares? Bullshit rappers that are weak as hell. Dj. Muggs is killing the world right now. U should do a story about dj. Muggs. Muggs is a hall of famer. Please stop wasting your time on no talent fools
The only poser here is thekid f.u don’t get me wrong but if Coles behind this lame ass bitch I will listen to a mumble rappers album for the first time. KEEP AN OPEN EAR
Ain’t no j cole gonna get me to listen to a rapping dress wearing tranny.
Old Young Thugger was crazy with the vocals, the weird shit he would say and erratic harmony things he would do….he pionereed a lot of these people. I want to hear his old unreleased shit to be honest.
CHECK OUT “MY SIDE OF THE TRACKS” AN ALBUM RELEASED IN 2004.
Early April fools day joke?
With all the controversy involving Young Thug still supporting Gucci, why would this “self righteous teacher” executive produce this album? J cole got me confused with this move. Mysonne needs to put this brother in check.
Because we don’t care about that dumb boycot
This maybe a way for these guys to bridge the gap man.
True. I guess I should look at it that way. Maybe being around Cole will increase awareness about Gucci hopefully.
Thug should stay making lit music. J cole is deep and real shit and more slower and calm beats. thug should just keep trying to master what hes alread amazing at.
