Release
In an interview about recording his debut album So Much Fun, Young Thug told The Fader that he wanted to release a follow-up album in the "upcoming weeks". In contrast to his debut which he described as a "lighthearted work", Punk would be more personal and introspective. He said that, in context of the album, he wants to "open up" and let people know he is not just a rapper but a human being. He implied the new album as "touching" and interpreted the meaning of Punk as "brave, not self centered, conscious, very, very neglected, very misunderstood, very patient, very authentic".[2][3] The album is said to reflect "real rap".[4][5][6]
