The Nottingham duo took to their social media to share the news as well as the cover art for the upcoming project, which sees the pair in a slight cartoon form at what looks to be a press conference standing behind a podium with newspapers pages reading “Truth be told” covering the wall behind them.

Young T and Bugsey have had an incredible two years, having already broken out in the UK’s then smaller rap and hip hop scene in 2016 with tracks such as “Glistenin” and “No Mickey Mouse Ting”. It wasn’t until lockdown 2020 where the pair found global recognition with the use of their track “Don’t rush” in the viral TikTok challenge,’ the don’t rush challenge’. The success of the challenge saw the song gain over 160 million Spotify streams and opened the pair up to an audience who were previously unaware of the duo’s talent.
While lockdown helped the pair with their single it also had a very negative impact on the rollout of their debut album Plead the 5th. The project dropped in the middle of the lockdown while streets were empty and shops and shows closed, the pair had billboards around Leicester square which they shared with fans, however it was a complete ghost town due to the global situation.
Since then the pair have only gone from strength to strength, featuring on the lead single “Princess Cuts” for Headie One’s chart-topping album Edna, nominations at the Brits, BET and NME awards, as well as releasing a number of singles that have gained positive reactions from their supporters while gaining millions of views and streams.
The pair recently released a new single titled “Roberto C” alongside Unknown T which has gained 690 thousand Spotify streams just 12 days after its release, and with the recent announcement of a new mixtape will likely be a track featuring on the upcoming project.
Young T and Bugsey’s upcoming mixtape Truth Be told is set to release on the 21st of January 2022 and is available to preorder here.
