Sources close to Young Thug have just confirmed that Cole will be serving as the executive producer on Young Thug’s new album, and that the two have already begun recording sessions in New York City.
The pairing of Cole and Thug doesn’t exactly come from left field, as Cole has been co-signing Thug for some time now. Just after announcing he’d be bringing Thug with him to open on his KOD tour in 2018, Cole told radio host Angie Martinez how much of a fan he is of Thug’s work.
“He’s just ill,” Cole said. “If you wanna talk about Thug as like, an artist, he’s an innovator. You can call him a mumble rapper all you want, but if you know skills and the art of rapping, and you know like, how you put words together, you know pockets, you know flows, you know the things he does with his voice, dude is a genius.”
