Juvenile and Young Thug Get Together for “Red Sox”
Juvenile is one of the greatest rappers ever, no exaggeration, and today the New Orleans legend links up with Atlanta's own Young Thug for a new song called "Red Sox." Listen to it above.
The song sounds like it's got production by London on Da Track and Thugger's vocals feel as though they're from a couple years ago, but the record works because Juve is so elastic and flexible with his rhyme style.
Thug and Juve have something of a connection via Birdman, with the former rolling close to Baby around the time of Barter 6 while Juve was of course signed to Cash Money in the '90s before leaving and later returning.
But they've also got a thematic connection. Thug naming his project Barter 6 was a lot like Wayne naming his solo album 500 Degreez; the latter was a wink at Juve's classic 400 Degreez album, the biggest LP for Cash Money Records at the time.
Juve is said to be working on a new album for later this year, so get a taste of what's to come with "Red Sox" above.
