Young Thug has released a brand new single titled “Tick Tock,” from his forthcoming album Punk. The single comes with an amazing video and warms fans up for the album release on October 15.
The song was first premiered at Rolling Loud during Thug’s set and followed his epic Tiny Desk (Home) Concert, where he performed with a live band.
