Young Thug will celebrate his 28th birthday with a gift to fans.

On Friday, the Atlanta rapper returned to Instagram to confirm the release date of So Much Fun, his first full-length solo project since 2017. He also unveiled the album's official cover art, which is an aerial shot of a bunch of Thuggers standing in a field forming an image of his face.

Thug has been teasing the project over the past several months, reassuring fans he was in "album mode," posting snippets of unreleased tracks, and announcing the title change from #GØŁDMØÜFDÖG to So Much Fun.
