The artist now known as Sex won't be dropping any music in 2018.

Young Thug is going to sit out the year in solidarity with his brother, who is deaf.

"I've got a deaf brother," he told Hypebeast. "I've got a brother who can't hear or talk, so I want to act deaf for a year. So, I ain't going to put out no music this year."

Thugger has a lot of music in the can or on the docket, including his debut studio album HY!£UN35, which he's been talking about for years but hasn't dropped.

"In 2019, I'm going to put out probably Hi-Tunes,” he added.
