Slime Language 3 is the third collaborative compilation album by American record label YSL Records in conjunction with its leader, American rapper Young Thug. It was released through the label and Create Music Group on August 28, 2026. The album features appearances from signees BSlime, Tezzus, Diamond*, Sk8star, 1300Saint, Biggs Money, Lil Unky, Iyrus, Yume, Unfoonk, Yung Kayo, and the late Lil Keed, with further outside appearances from Rob49, Quavo, Lil Baby, Papito El Franklins, Travis Scott, Future, Yeat, Veeze, Lito the Plug, Skrilla, Rundown Zay, Cash Cobain, HittMan, Jorjiana, Trippie Redd, Pz', Bay Swag, Mariah the Scientist, YKNiece, and Lil Righteous.[1][2] Production was handled by Iyrus himself, alongside Wheezy, Mike Will Made It, Honorable C.N.O.T.E., and Pi'erre Bourne, among others.
Slime Language 3 was preceded by its singles "Hood of Atlanta", which features Tezzus and diamond*, and "Consummate", which features 1300Saint and Tezzus, and was released three days before.[3][4] It serves as the final installment of the Slime Language album trilogy, following the first album in 2018 and its sequel (also in collaboration with now-former label signee Gunna) in 2021.[1] The album also serves as the first project to be released by YSL since Lil Keed's passing in 2022, as well as Gunna's departure from the label in 2025 after his longtime friendship with Thug ended after the racketeering trial involving several artists and associates from the label from 2022 to 2024 due to the latter accusing him of taking the stand on him in the courtroom.
Background and recording
[edit source]The idea for Slime Language 3 first surfaced on May 16, 2026, when American rapper and YSL signee 1300Saint mentioned the project during an appearance on American online streamer PlaqueBoyMax's live stream. He followed up with another tease on X two days later, beginning a rollout that would remain relatively quiet before accelerating in August.[5] In June, Young Thug would explain the sound of the project via an interview, where he stated that it would sound similar to 2016 music and his debut commercial mixtape, Barter 6 (2015).[5] Thug explicitly revealed the album through an Instagram post in a video conversation with American audio engineer and record producer Mike Dean, where they said the recording process was complete. 1300Saint revealed five days later that the album would have over 30 tracks.[5] An album trailer was revealed with its release date.[5] It was originally scheduled to be released at midnight Eastern Time Zone (ET). Still, it was delayed until the evening after Thug revealed that he and his signees were in the hospital to watch the birth of American stylist and creative consultant Ian Connor's child.[2][6][7] Following the delay, Diamond* would give an update on the official YSL Instagram page, revealing that the project would see a release soon and that signees and affiliates were still working dilligently on the project.[8] Furthermore, Thug would then go on X to announce that the project would have some minor changes to it.[9]
