Slime Language 2 is the second full-length album from Young Stoner Life Records, the label founded and spearheaded by Young Thug. It is the proper sequel to its August 2018 predecessor.
The possibility of Slime Language 2 was first teased by Gunna in an interview on May 22, 2020.
Later, on July 29, 2020, Young Thug tweeted:
#Slimelanguage2 8-16
However, it was swiftly deleted and claimed to have been a hack.
The album’s lead single, “Take It to Trial,” was officially released on December 18, 2020. It was accidentally and momentarily released on the day following Thanksgiving.
The album’s second single, “GFU,” was released on January 29, 2021.
Two weeks later, the album’s third and final single, “That Go!,” was released on February 12.
On January 27, two days before “GFU” was released, “Slatty” leaked. On April 9, a few days after snippets were teased by both Thug and Gunna, “Ski” leaked. Three days later, on April 12, Thug and other members of YSL announced the album’s imminent release date of April 16, alongside its artwork.
Yes, there is. Watch it below:
Young Thug and Young Stoner Life Records released Slime Language 2 on the six-year anniversary of Barter 6, Thug’s 2015 breakout mixtape.
Slime Language 2 debuted and peaked at #1 on the Billboard 200 for the chart week ending May 1, 2021. The album moved 120,000 album equivalent units (142.68 million on-demand streams and 6,000 pure sales).
