After spending more than 900 days behind bars in the State of Georgia's RICO case against him, Young Thug was released from jail on October 31. Naturally, his fans are eager to hear new music from him, but it hasn't arrived yet.

However, Metro Boomin may be the first producer to release a song with Thug, because he shared a photo of a computer screen to show that he was crafting a beat. The screen also displayed the words "Jeff Home," Jeffery Williams being Thug's real name.

T.I. may also be working with Thug, because last week he posted a video with him, and it looked like they were recording music together. That's despite T.I. hinting at retirement, something he talked about last month while speaking to Atlanta's 96.1 The Beat. Tip also brought up his retirement when captioning that video with Thug.

"Yeahhhhh YKWTFGO The Kings have Reconvened #KingJeffrey #KingSr Guess I’m officially outta retirement. ♂️ For tonight 😂 #welcomehome," wrote Tip next to the video.

As for Thug's RICO case, he pleaded guilty to several charges including three related to drugs, two gun charges, and one charge related to gang activity. He'll be on probation for 15 years but will serve 20 years in prison if he violates the terms.

In a statement with her office, District Attorney Fani Willis, who brought charges against Thug, released a statement about his release and said the case against the YSL gang is far from over.

"The convictions in this case represent accountability for admitted members of YSL, a violent street gang. Mr. Williams chose to plead guilty to all of the charges against him and allow the judge to determine his sentence. Every criminal defendant in every case has the right to make that decision at any time," the statement reads.

"This indictment includes 28 defendants, with 14 having charges remaining to be resolved, including murder, criminal street gang activity, racketeering and other crimes," it continued. "We are still in the middle of the process of reaching verdicts on those charges, and will continue to work to bring justice in those cases."
