Fans hoping for the new album might have to wait a little longer.  Young Thug, or “SEX” as he announced he would be known by earlier this week, says he will not be making any new music this year to honor his deaf brother.

“I got a deaf brother,” Young Thug told Hypebeast in a video interview yesterday.  “I got a brother that can’t hear or talk, so I wanna act deaf for a year so I won’t put up any new music this year. “

Young Thug told the interview that fans can expect his highly-anticipated Hi-Tunes project to be out in 2019.
