While showing off his new album with Ty Dolla Sign, Kanye West played a collaboration with Young Thug in Miami at Dukunoo Jamaican Kitchen on Sunday night. In one track, West remarks, “free Young Thug,” before also playing a verse from the incarcerated rapper. The evening comes after a surprise appearance at Art Basel.
When a clip of Ye previewing the Young Thug song began circulating on social media, fans had plenty of positive reactions. “This is the first time Kanye has ever actually let the beat drop when he played a teaser from one of his album. This is fire and I can’t wait to hear the full version!” one user wrote on Twitter. Another added: “Thug previewed this verse twice once in 2019 and once in 2021 but the beat is changed the og is gunna x thug prod Pierre.”
