Young Thug’s latest project now has a release date, alongside a trailer that maps out his moniker change.

The Atlanta Rapper recently announced that he was no longer going by the name ‘Young Thug’, instead, the video shows him being fiercely interrogated to exclaim, “No, my name is Jeffery”. Authorities, family, and a lover can’t even coax the Thugger out of him.

“Young Thug?” a what-seems-to-be-a-lawyer asks. “No, it’s Jeffery,” No My Name is Jeffery replies.

A woman sits on the table and turns to him: “Remember this, Young Thug?” but still, no dice.

The identity shift is meant to signify a new musical direction for the rapper, who's thusfar released 15 mixtapes and 17 singles.

“Jeffery is all about Jeffery,” he said in a recent interview on Travis Scott’s show .Wav. “It ain’t even about Young Thug. Ain’t no Young Thug songs on there. The whole mixtape is straight crossover. I ain’t ready to go crossover yet… I ain’t even fully ready yet, I give it eight more months, nine more months, everything will be perfecto.”

In an Instagram post, the rapper apologised to fans for the mixtape’s delay, citing some difficulties. “The reason the mixtape isn’t out is because the photo they were going to use, I didn’t like the photo,” he said.

The project has been promised a release date for August 26. In the mean time, he’s released some tracks with Wyclef Jean and T.I.
