Young Thug Releases New Track off ‘Punk’ Album Era

Young Thug has returned with the official release of “Tick Tock,” a song that fans first heard at Rolling Loud Miami last month.

Premiering alongside a music video directed by Emil Nava, the opening scenes see Thug roll up to an office building in a pink Lamborghini and step out in a head-to-toe pink outfit. As the trademark color of his Punk era, the rapper debuted his freshly-dyed bubblegum hair at Rolling Loud and similarly sported all pink for his performance.

Thug satirizes the eponymous app while flexing his work ethic — as he surveys his office, some employees’ eyes remain glued to their phones, while others film videos in front of a ring light and upload them to the app, following which he appears before viewers on a massive phone screen.

In addition to streaming “Tick Tock” online, fans can also listen to a live version of the single from July’s NPR Tiny Desk (Home) Concert, as well as other tracks off of Punk, including “Die Slow,” “Droppin Jewels,” and “Hate the Game.”

Thug’s sophomore album Punk is out on October 15.
