Young Thug let the cat out of the bag on some records he did with Kanye West way back in Jauary, and while we're still patiently awaiting their arrival, their may be more new music down the road from the two rappers.

According to Thug, Kanye was around during a couple of dates on he and Travi$ Scott's "Rodeo" tour, and at that point, Ye was more excited about his music than ever.

"We [were] backstage at one of the tour dates at the Staples Center in L.A. and Kanye was backstage," Thug told RollingOut. "He had a Beats Pill and was like, ‘I wanna hear all of your music in the world that’s not out.’ So I was letting him hear all the music. Then he said I was like Bob Marley and he wanted to do an album with me. I was like, ‘Let’s roll!’ He’s a fan."

As far as we know, Thug's upcoming debut album, Hy!£UN35, does not involve Kanye, but perhaps he'll have an executive-producer credit sometime in the future? Until then, he just has to worry about getting both his own and Rihanna's albums out there. Then again, he could be referring to "doing an album," as a Watch The Throne type deal, which would be a whole 'nother level.

Think it'll happen?
