Young Thug fans have been waiting years for HiTunes, the official major label debut from the young Atlanta star. It was supposed to drop years ago when Thug first got his deal with Atlantic Records via Gucci Mane, but his move to 300 Ent. has slowed things down.

Now things seem to be rolling in the right direction. This week Lyor Cohen, head of 300, gave fans a preview of the video announcement for Thugger's upcoming HiTunes tour, which will feature Thug riding a horse. Lyor was also in the studio with Thug and Todd Moscowitz, another head exec at 300 (along with Kevin Liles). Lyor seemed to preview a tracklist for the album (or perhaps Slime Season 3) and also played a snippet of new music from Thug. You can see all that below.

Thug has gotten off to a strong start in 2016 with I'm Up, his latest EP that features standouts like "F Cancer" and "King TROUP."

He also has a collab with Elton John in the works, according to Fader. Elton has already announced himself as a fan of Thug's music, so it makes sense.

In addtion, GQ did an excellent feature on the other-worldly Atlanta rapper recently, as they followed him around to shows and his gambling haunts to get an inside look at the rapper's life.

By the looks of the videos below, Thug's HiTunes tour looks like it'll be kicking off at the beginning of May. That means the album should be dropping around the same time. Then again, Thug did announce a HiTunes tour last year, only to cancel a majority of the dates before the tour even started.
