Halftime by Young Thug Song Info
The iconic “Halftime" is the epitome of Young Thug’s unique style. With innovative vocals and a legendary 11-second-long “Skrrt” ad-lib, “Halftime” displays Thugger’s technical abilities. The rapper uses four minutes to introduce half-a-dozen different flows while elaborating on his lifestyle and threatening his opposition. The song was released in 2015, at a time when Thug was paving the way for a new rap formula characterized by the ground-breaking vocal instrumentation showcased throughout Barter 6—a project deemed for its impact on the modern trap. The instrumental of “Halftime” is produced by Thug’s DJ Kip Hilson for the first of their two collaborations, and the accompanying music video is directed by Thug’s friend and frequent collaborator Be EL Be, who managed Thug’s controversial and celebrated “Best Friend” video.
