Elton John is a very big fan of Young Thug and even compared him to the late, great John Lennon. 

Word on the street, some time ago, was that Thug had put his spin on the classic "Rocket Man" after receiving some original stems from Elton himself.

Although the song was heard and praised for its uniqueness by select media behind the scenes, it never saw the light of day... that is, until now!

Long awaited, the song surfaces today and it's as every bit of dope as talked about. Listen now, below!
