It took a long time to get here, but Young Thug’s comeback story is officially underway. After living his best life—dropping critically acclaimed albums, stacking millions, and having a loyal partner by his side—everything came crashing down when he was hit with serious RICO charges. At one point, it looked like Young Thug might be locked away for years. However, just a few months ago, he was granted his freedom, shocking just about everyone.
Now, Young Thug is embarking on one of the greatest comeback trails the hip-hop world has seen. While he remains the talented and charismatic artist we know, he appears ready to resume his career with a slightly different persona. The question is: will we be able to tell the difference? You’ll find out soon after finishing the album.

1. Money on Money
On “Money on Money,” Thug wastes no time calling out the rats he refuses to associate with, flexing his designer drip, and giving props to the women who hold him down. He even references the hyenas in his circle—ones we imagine he assures his DA are literal animals.
Though the chorus isn’t traditionally catchy, it’s delivered with conviction and urgency. Thug’s punchy, energetic rap style feels both excited and slightly anxious, like someone eager to reclaim his throne.
Future enters the track as the beat shifts into a more militant groove. His verse is raw and grungy, filled with bars about rolling with 21 killers, showing love to his “twin” Thugger, and spending time with “eaters” (Eaters is such a sick-ass way to describe people).
All in all, “Money on Money” feels like a statement: Young Thug is back like cooked crack.
