Feb 23, 2018 The Atlanta rapper took part in the New York Fashion Week for Philipp Plein’s Fall/Winter 2018 and VFILES’ seasonal showcases where he did a brief interview with hypebeast. After talking a little bit about fashion, Thug announced that he won’t release any music this year out of respect for his brother who is deaf. “I got a deaf brother,” he says. “So, I want to act deaf for a year, I ain’t going to put out no music this year. 2019, I’mma probably drop Hi-Tunes,” he continued. Thug’s album (often stylized as “Hy!£UN35”) has been in the works for a few years now but yet to receive an official release date. http://hiphop-n-more.com/2018/02/yo...r-deaf-brother/amp/?__twitter_impression=true
