No matter how big Kanye West gets, he's made it a point to connect with the youth in hip-hop and work with future stars. Arguably the hottest new rapper in the game, Young Thug, is apparently next up to make music with 'Ye as the ATL native told Rolling Out that not only is Yeezus a fan of Thug but that he and Kanye are in the early stages of planning an album together.

“[Kanye] didn’t have a phone for like three or four years,” Thugger told th outlet. “When I first met him, I went to his house and he was like, ‘We gotta keep in touch; here’s my email.’ But he came on tour with Travi$ Scott and me. [Kanye] said he has a phone now because he has a wife. So he had to get a phone. But he called me Bob Marley. We [were] backstage at one of the tour dates at the Staples Center in L.A. and Kanye was backstage. He had a Beats Pill and was like, ‘I wanna hear all of your music in the world that’s not out.’ So I was letting him hear all the music. Then he said I was like Bob Marley and he wanted to do an album with me. I was like, ‘Let’s roll!’ He’s a fan. So that leads back to me saying fans are the main reason you stay motivated and become who you want to be. Kanye is like my brother, but he’s a real fan. He bought me some Yeezys and went on eBay to get them for me. That’s motivation.”

Remember, dream collaborations like Kanye and Thugger have been known to fall through but if what Thug says holds up, we could be getting music from the stars soon. The full story can be read here.
