Young Thug premiered a new song from his upcoming album Uy Scuti at Summer Smash last night (June 22).
It was the Atlanta star’s first live performance since his release from jail last year and he did not let fans down, bringing out Travis Scott as a special guest and delivering all of his best hits.
Thugger also brought out Ken Carson and the two performed a collaboration that Slime described as “new shit”.
The duo did not reveal a title for the track but the hook went: “My bitch, she bad / She stay stone cold / Where the diamonds at / She inside her nose.”

Young Thug was previously supposed to perform at the 2022 iteration of the festival in 2022 alongside Gunna but the two were arrested on RICO charges before the event.

Elliot Montanez, director of operations for Lyrical Lemonade, commented in a statement about Thugger finally getting to perform at the festival: “In a weird way, all of that happened with Summer Smash being one of the shows he was about to do before he went away for a little bit, and now Summer Smash being the first show [he’s doing] fresh out, it is full circle.
“I just think it’s interesting. I’m definitely glad that moment will be at Summer Smash, where fans will interact with him in person for the first time in a minute. But it’s a beautiful, full-circle moment.”
Thugger recently joked about quitting music to become a full time streamer.
Appearing on Adin Ross’ Kick stream, Thugger found out that the controversial streamer was making millions of dollars and appeared interested in a career change.

He said: “I’ma stop doing music and start streaming. I think I’m gonna stop. I’m telling ya, I’m done rapping and gonna start streaming.”
Thug then reasoned why he wanted to make the switch: “Y’all live a cool life. Y’all go everywhere everyday. Y’all got cats wondering around this bitch. Y’all got all types of crazy stuff.”
Young Thug is still yet to reveal the official release date for Uy Scuti but previously promised fans that it would drop in June, however there is only a week left of the month.
