Mutt is the second studio album by American musician and actor Leon Thomas, released on September 27, 2024 by EZMNY Records and Motown. [1] Supported by the singles "Mutt" and "Far Fetched", the album features guest appearances from Masego, Wale, Ty Dolla $ign and Baby Rose.
In May 2022, Leon Thomas was announced as the first artist to be signed to Ty Dolla $ign's newly launched EZMNY Records imprint, which was a joint venture deal with Motown. [2] His debut album Electric Dusk was released over a year later on August 25, 2023. Shortly after its release, Thomas began to start work on his second album, understanding that his deal with Motown would expect two albums in his "first cycle with them". [3] Conceptually, the album was inspired by a breakup Thomas experienced at the time, as well as observing the similarities in behaviours between himself and his dog. [4]
The album's title track was released as the lead single on August 9, 2024. This was followed by the remix, three weeks later on August 30, which featured a verse from rapper Freddie Gibbs. The second single "Far Fetched", featuring Ty Dolla $ign was released on September 13, two weeks prior to the album's release.
