Young Thug's Remix of Elton John's "Rocket Man" Has Leaked and It's Stunning

Back in 2016, Young Thug was rumoured to have reworked Elton John's 1972 classic "Rocket Man" after the two were introduced by Lyor Cohen. Now, Thugger's reinterpretation has found its way online.

The track opens with Thug crooning alongside Sir Elton's vocal track on the airy beat before laying down some melodic bars of his own. At one point, he raps, "If you say you got wings and some fish, then you probably fried" before ad-libbing, "that's deep."

You can hear the remix in the players below, and you best believe we have our fingers crossed for an official release sometime soon.

Young Thug recently delivered his Slime Language compilation. He's currently out on the road with J. Cole as part of the latter's "K.O.D. Tour."
