While existing fans should appreciate this latest release, if someone new to Thug asked me where to start, I would quickly point in the direction of last year's stronger efforts (outside of 'Hercules,' of course). As you may have heard, Young Thugs new project Slime Season 3 is finally dropping on March 25th which will be technically at midnight tonight.

While I'm Up has a few solid records, it likely won't produce any hits outside of 'F Cancer.' At any other time, one could chalk this effort up to serving the fans more of the street-focused records they're craving, but seeing that Thug's entire fanbase was craving Slime Season 3, that wait and its accompanying hunger lingers on. The mixing isn't on par with earlier Thug projects either, which is hugely disappointing and most likely attributable to the fact that Tumay was only involved on the expertly mixed 'Hercules.' The featured artists don't take away from the product, other than the last track, but don't really add to it outside of solid outings from Offset and Young Butta. Still raucous and raw, these eight tracks capture the slippery, percussive delivery for which the Atlantan is known, complete with barks, wails, woos, and dribbled verses as on the delirious, equally maniacal Drippin’ and Digits.

The sequencing leaves a lot to be desired, a prime example transitioning from the opening over-excitement of 'F Cancer' to the somber reminiscing of 'My Boys.' The final installment in the mixtape series that helped launch his career, Young Thug's Slime Season 3 marks the end of an era.

I'm Up doesn't suffer from the problem of including an overbearing amount of filler like the first two Slime Seasons, but while those at least felt like projects, this go round simply feels like a collection of recently completed records. I'll be honest, my opinion has fluctuated wildly over the course of five or so full listens to the project. The biggest issue is that a cohesive experience is lacking.
