Young Thug May Have Remixed “Rocket Man” With Elton John

Elton John may be in the fifth decade of his career, but he’s always been in touch with what the kids are listening to — from performing with Eminem back in 2001 to working with Lady Gaga several times over the years. And after revealing he’s a big fan of Young Thug in a recent interview, Sir Elton may have teamed up with the boundary-pushing hip-hop artist.

According to The Fader, Thug’s label head got the rapper on FaceTime with Elton, and a “well-placed source” says after the chat, Elton sent Thug the stems for his 1972 hit “Rocket Man.” The ATLien subsequently gave it his spin, and the result is apparently “ambient and amazing.”

Young Thug’s label, 300 Entertainment, declined to comment to The Fader, which we’re going to assume means the track will be a late addition to Slime Season 3.
