The thirst for new YSL music seems like it will finally be quenched. As The Shade Room previously reported, Gunna most recently released his first single and music video following his acceptance of an Alford plea in the YSL RICO trial.
On Friday, the rapper released a full-length, 15-track album. Meanwhile, Young Thug — who is still behind bars during the ongoing case — has unveiled a cryptic countdown for his fans.

In the early hours of Friday morning, Young Thug’s official Instagram account shared a new post. Additionally, the rest of his Instagram profile has been wiped clean.
The post consists of a QR code on top of a blank, white background. The caption is brief.
“BUSINESS IS BUSINESS”
When viewers scan the QR code, they are greeted with a countdown set to be completed in less than five days.
Additionally, producer Metro Boomin has also shared the same countdown with an identical caption.
