Young Thug Unreleased: HiTunes, Leaks & Every Era Guide

Young Thug has been one of the most influential voices in rap for more than a decade, and one of its most prolific. For every project he has released there are sessions that never were — a scrapped debut album, a collaboration tape that never came out, and years of loose songs that fans traded long before any tracklist existed. On unreleased.world his vault holds 1,565 unreleased tracks across 35 projects and 35 eras, counted live from the catalogue. This guide takes it era by era; to listen, you can open the Young Thug tracker on unreleased.world.

Who is Young Thug?

Young Thug — Jeffery Lamar Williams — is an Atlanta rapper whose mixtapes of the first half of the 2010s, from the I Came from Nothing tapes to 1017 Thug and Barter 6, made him one of the most influential artists of his generation. The albums that followed include Jeffery (2016), Beautiful Thugger Girls (2017), So Much Fun (2019), Punk (2021) and Business Is Business (2023), and his melodic, shape-shifting delivery is often cited as an influence on the artists who came after — including the ones behind the Playboi Carti and Lil Uzi Vert vaults.

Why Young Thug's vault is so deep

Thug has recorded at a remarkable pace for well over a decade, and the community tracker now lists 2,058 unreleased songs and versions. His catalogue also has a long history with leaks: his 2015 tape Slime Season was assembled largely from songs that had already leaked. The community tracker documents all of it, era by era, and the eras are unusually many — more than thirty, from the earliest tapes to the newest sessions.

The eras worth knowing

HiTunes: the album that never came

HiTunes was announced and teased for years and never released. The tracker keeps its sessions in stages — HiTunes [V1] (109 tracks) and Hy!£UN35 [V4] (92 tracks) are two of the largest — which makes it the best example in the vault of a project that lives only in its leftovers.

Metro Thuggin and the collaboration eras

Metro Thuggin (45 tracks) — his work with Metro Boomin — never came out as an album, and the tracker keeps it as an era of its own, alongside eras like Birdman Presents (113 tracks) and his sessions with 808 Mafia.

JEFFERY and BEAUTIFUL THUGGER GIRLS

The 2016 and 2017 albums left some of the biggest eras in the vault behind them: BEAUTIFUL THUGGER GIRLS (166 tracks) and JEFFERY (116 tracks) each hold far more than the records themselves.

So Much Fun, Punk and after

The later eras follow the albums — So Much Fun (93 tracks), Punk [V2] (110 tracks), BUSINESS IS BUSINESS (25 tracks) — and run to the tracker's newest, UY SCUTI (50 tracks).

Where to go next

Thug's influence runs straight through the next generation's vaults: the Lil Uzi Vert unreleased guide and the Playboi Carti unreleased guide are the obvious next reads, and the Juice WRLD unreleased guide covers one of the few vaults that rivals his in size.
