Young Thug is gearing up to release Uy Scuti, his first album since being released from jail last year, and has employed some unusual marketing tactics.
Uy Scuti is currently scheduled to drop later this month so Thugger is stepping up the rollout.
Ahead of the release, select members of the press have been sent packages which when opened reveal a live spider.
The packages also include the message: “Take care of me until we reach UY SCUTI.”

No exact date for Uy Scuti has yet been revealed by Thugger, only that it will release this month.

He has also only dropped the one single “Money on Money” featuring Future.
While the track is a bombastic return to the Atlanta star’s best, it is most notable for some lines that appear to be aimed at his former friend and his decision to take an Alford plea during YSL’s long-running and controversial RICO trial.
On the song’s hook, Thug raps: “These fuck n-ggas tellin’ for nothin’, and I gotta be the one callin’ ’em friends.”
He later spits: “Brother, you a rat (My brother).”

Thugger also reiterated the accusation in a subsequent verse: “Twin, you a rat, you smoked, uh.”
In an interview with GQ, Thug refused to clarify his relationship with his YSL cohort who has faced accusations of snitching ever since he agreed to a plea deal.
Asked about the current status of their relationship, Thug replied: “I know everybody wonders [what our relationship is like now]. I don’t know.”

Gunna has always denied snitching on Young Thug but it is not the first time his label boss has appeared to label him a rat.
On a snippet of a track he posted on his Instagram, Thug could be heard rapping: “Never associate with a rat/ Go and get some money, get a pack.”
In a new snippet from a song that will potentially feature on the album, Thug references his relationship with Mariah The Scientist.
Inside of a bathtub with no water, Thug played a clip for his followers on Instagram Live.

“I told her I won’t cheat again/Took her up the [inaudible] Benz/I’m on a million dollar streak again,” he raps.
