Thug has been teasing the release of Punk for almost two years, first revealing the new project in a cover story with The Fader in 2019. In the interview, he described the album as “most definitely touching music. It’s music that the world is going to embrace.” Further, Thug delved into the sentiment behind the record’s name, saying that the word “punk,” to him, “means brave, not self centered, conscious. Very, very neglected, very misunderstood. Very patient, very authentic.”

Earlier this week, Thug landed on Belly’s new track “Better Believe,” slated to appear on the latter artist’s upcoming album See You Next Wednesday, alongside The Weeknd.
