Source-derived summary

Slime & B is a collaborative commercial mixtape by American singer Chris Brown and American rapper Young Thug. It was released on May 5, 2020, by Chris Brown Entertainment, LLC, under exclusive license to RCA. The mixtape includes production from Murda Beatz, Turbo, Wheezy, A1, OG Parker and more, along with guest appearances from Gunna, Future, Too $hort, E-40 and Lil Duke, among others.

"Go Crazy" was released as the mixtape's lead single, and became Brown's seventh top-five song as a lead artist, as well Young Thug's highest lead artist charting song in the US, peaking at number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and spending more than one full year on the chart.

Background and recording

Previously, Brown and Young Thug collaborated on the official remix of Brown's song "Wrist", contained in OHB and Brown's collaborative mixtape Before the Trap: Nights in Tarzana (2016), on the free-released track "Dat Night", also featuring Trey Songz, and on "High End", a promotional single from Brown's eighth studio album Heartbreak on a Full Moon (2017), also featuring Future.

The mixtape was recorded at Brown's house during the very first stages of COVID-19 pandemic. The mixtape was firstly announced on April 6, 2020, by Brown on his Instagram account. In an interview with Revolt, mixing engineer Patrizio Pigliapoco talked about the making of Slime & B: "It was some days of 30-40 people in Chris' house. Young Thug's crew is massive. It wouldn't be a party, but it would be a kickback while we made the mixtape". On April 28, 2020, the title and release date set for Brown's 31st birthday were announced.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “2020 mixtape by Chris Brown and Young Thug” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q93427746. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2020, 2016 and 2017.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
