Young Thug made his Saturday Night Live debut last night, and he made sure it was one to remember. The rapper played two selections off his just-released sophomore album, Punk, starting with a raucous performance of his latest single “Tick Tock” that ended with a chaotic drum solo by Travis Barker. For his second song, Thug brought out Nate Ruess and Gunna to perform their melodic collaboration “Love You More,” which also featured percussion by the blink-182 drummer.
Thug dropped Punk on Friday. The album includes features from the likes of Post Malone, A$AP Rocky, Drake, Travis Scott, Future, Doja Cat, J Cole, and late rappers Juice Wrld and Mac Miller and is the follow-up to 2019’s So Much Fun.
