By the Numbers
Punk keeps Young Thug at the front of the lyricist column on his own verses, joined by the featured rappers and singers, from J. Cole and Drake to Doja Cat and Nate Ruess, who wrote their own parts. The composer credits run wide because the twenty tracks pull from a large producer pool: each song lists his legal name Jeffery Lamar Williams beside the producers and co-writers, with Charlie Handsome and Metro Boomin among the most frequent.
Punk is the second studio album by Young Thug, released in October 2021 on YSL Records, 300 Entertainment, and Atlantic Records. It became his second consecutive number-one album on the Billboard 200 and pushes toward a more introspective, acoustic-leaning sound across twenty tracks. The deep guest list includes Gunna, Future, J. Cole, Drake, Travis Scott, Doja Cat, Post Malone, ASAP Rocky, Juice Wrld, Mac Miller, and Nate Ruess. Production is led by Charlie Handsome with further beats from Metro Boomin, Wheezy, Pi'erre Bourne, Turbo, and many others. Young Thug writes his own verses, with featured artists contributing their own parts, and the composer credits list his legal name Jeffery Lamar Williams beside the producers and co-writers on each track.
