Fred again.. and Young Thug find an unexpected sweet spot on 'Scared'

Few collaborations feel this surprising yet this natural. Fred again.. joins forces with Young Thug on 'Scared', a dark, immersive record that fans first caught a glimpse of during a late-2025 Twitch stream. Now officially released, the track lands as part of Fred again..’s 'USB' compilation, a project stacked with eclectic contributions from BIA, Blanco, Caribou, Danny Brown, JPEGMAFIA, PlaqueBoyMax, Future, Anderson .Paak, and more.

Sonically, 'Scared' thrives on tension and atmosphere. Fred again.. builds a layered, emotionally charged backdrop that allows the song to breathe, while Thug slides in with an off-kilter flow that adds unpredictability without disrupting the mood. The contrast between electronic subtlety and raw vocal presence gives the record its edge.

Despite being a relatively new pairing, the chemistry feels intuitive rather than experimental. 'Scared' doesn’t rely on the shock value of collaboration alone, it stands confidently as one of the more gripping moments on 'USB', showing how two artists from very different worlds can meet in the middle and create something quietly powerful.
