Slime Language is a collaborative compilation album[1] by American record label YSL Records and American rapper Young Thug, who is the leader of the label. It was released on August 17, 2018 for streaming and digital download by YSL Records and 300 Entertainment.[2] The compilation features guest appearances from YSL artists Lil Duke, Gunna, Strick, Thug's sisters Dolly and HiDoraah, Thug's fiance (Jerrika) Karlae, as well as Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Keed, Nechie, Lil Baby, Jacquees, Tracy T and others.[3] The album is executive produced by Wheezy and London on da Track and features production from Keyyz, K Bangerz, Kacey Khaliel, DY, Charlie Handsome, Smoke, Mattazik, Super, Billboard Hitmakers and Turbo, among others.[2] The album's sequel, Slime Language 2, was released on April 16, 2021, with the deluxe edition of the album being released exactly a week later on April 23, 2021.

Background

On August 1, 2018, the album was announced by Young Thug, when he sent several music publications pet snakes and a booklet containing names of artists including Lil Uzi Vert, Gunna and Jacquees.[4][5] Thug initially set the release date for his 27th birthday, August 16, but later clarified that it would be released later in the evening on August 16.[3] A representative for Thug explained that the album was a "compilation project [and] not a Young Thug album, EP or mixtape."[4]
