Young Thug has changed his style multiple times over the course of his career. With his next album in motion, he plans to do the same. This new cover hints at the possibility for a punk rock album to be in the near future for Thug.
Young Thug is the kind of talented artist that can rebrand himself at any moment in time.
“You can’t learn how to keep inventing. You just keep learning how to keep learning,” Thug stated. "What’s in you is in you. There is not any way I can tell you — I just do what I do. I don’t even f**king know I’m doing it.

"Young Thug has changed the contours of popular music more than once. With his upcoming album, 'Punk,' he's aiming to do it again — and he'd like to share the wealth with the people around him. Up late in Atlanta with rap's most generous superstar."
Rolling Stone wrote, "Young Thug was an anomaly to the rap world when he arrived, but today his emotive delivery and acrobatic style are the blueprint for an entire generation."
Young Thug has the ability to execute songs with such clarity in his voice.
He’s spent his career translating the unintelligible, making audiences feel what they couldn’t speak. On Punk, he’s found a way to convey the rich emotional gradients of his vibe in words. A track titled “Droppin Jewels” finds Thug at his most articulate. It features lush pianos that give the intricacies of his voice a worthy spotlight. Thug can sing. Like, really sing. He can rap, too, of course. The song features classic Thug bars that’ll stop you in your tracks. At one point, he raps: “I just hopped out that ghost, I been driving a dead body.”
Thug's lyrical potential is why he has this huge following.
