Geeski Season continues as Louisville star EST Gee drops “Thug Club
November 21, 2025 – Today, Geeski Season continues as Louisville star EST Geedrops “Thug Club,” a relentless, yet reflective track that lays out Gee’s classic street etiquette over booming bass and trap drums. Stream HERE via CMG / Interscope Records. Watch the official music video HERE.
Directed by Carters Vision (Future, Lil Baby, GloRilla), the “Thug Club” video finds EST Gee enjoying the spoils of his grind — with the crew, at the club, surrounded by rare cars, covered in glistening jewels, and performing to rapturous fans on his recent Welcome to My World summer North American tour (see live footage HERE).
The new single is EST Gee’s first release since his My World project dropped, stirring up love from the likes of XXL, NPR, okayplayer., VIBE, and hnhh, who wrote, “Gee seizes the moment… letting every other rapper know that it’s his world and everyone else is just living in it.” The 14-song set finds strength in rawness, with just one guest (CMG boss Yo Gotti) joining EST Gee at his most primal, rocking a head-down, workmanlike flow that packs vivid storytelling and wry wisdom into subtly masterful rhyme schemes.
My World was led by “Take my time Geeski SH Feb 23,” a lyrical parable about patience and loyalty set to a soulful beat, and went on to launch the hustler’s anthem “GEESKI SHAKE July 13,” the melodic and emotional “Tug of War March17,” and the darkly documentarian “Above the Rim 0529.” EST Gee displays confidence and vulnerability as he looks back at the winding road that made him the artist he is today.
That full-length project was actually EST Gee’s second in 2025 following I Ain’t Feeling You, a dynamic set of vivid observations, street tales, and punch lines including singles “Houstonatlantaville” featuring Lil Baby and Travis Scott, “My Love” with Veeze and Rylo Rodriguez, and “RIP LU MIKE.” February brought the Bonus Edition along with “Flash,” which features ascendant Chicago rapper BloodHound Q50.

About EST Gee:
A force to be reckoned with, EST Gee continues to win listeners by authentically, unflinchingly documenting day-to-day life in his hometown with a rumbling deadpan that pairs perfectly with trap-infused Southern rap. His current era continues a busy 2025 kicked off by I Ain’t Feeling You, including standouts “Houstonatlantaville” featuring Lil Baby and Travis Scott and “My Love” featuring Veeze and Rylo Rodriguez. Before that, in 2023, he not only released two charting mixtapes — the gritty, pain-powered MAD and his stylistically diverse victory lap EL TORO 2 — but also featured heavily on CMG’s door-kicking Gangsta Art 2 compilation alongside labelmates/collaborators like Moneybagg Yo, 42 Dugg, GloRilla, and Mozzy, plus legendary CMG boss Yo Gotti.
Initially developing his unique vision across several self-released mixtapes, EST Gee broke out with 2021’s Bigger Than Life or Death tape, which hit No. 7 on the Billboard 200, grabbed No. 1 on Apple Music’s All-Genre chart, and lifted his career to the next level. That year, he also: collaborated with Lil Baby, Young Thug, Lil Durk, and many others; received cosigns from the likes of Jay-Z and Drake; played Jimmy Kimmel Live! with Louisville’s own Jack Harlow; and garnered praise from Complex(20 Best Rappers in Their 20s), The New York Times, who put Bigger on their year-end best albums list, and Rolling Stone, where EST Gee topped the Breakthrough 25 chart.
In 2022, EST Gee joined CMG and released his debut studio album, I Never Felt Nun, a collection of tense street raps with dips into melody provided by superstar guests including Future and Harlow. The set hit No. 8 on the Billboard 200 and was his third to reach the Top 10 — including his and 42 Dugg’s 2022 joint mixtape, Last Ones Left. He also made his national TV debut performing at the BET Hip-Hop Awards with Jeezy, plus returned to Billboard’s Hot 100 via Future’s “CHICKENS” and Lil Baby’s “Back and Forth.” EST Gee has long been your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper.
