Fans swear they hear Young Thug on one of Bon Iver’s new songs

Over the course of his career, Justin Vernon has frequently contributed his meticulous production skills to some of hip-hop's biggest records, including Kanye West's Yeezus and Vince Staples' Big Fish Theory. For the most part, the Eau Claire artist avoids such high-wattage rap collaborations on his solo albums as Bon Iver. However, that all could be changing very soon.

Earlier this month Vernon collaborated with Minnesota-based dance company TU Dance for a number of shows, during which he debuted a number of new songs. One of the as-of-yet untitled tracks pauses for a brief feature, and the voice sounds remarkably similar to that of Young Thug's. A number of Reddit threads agree, as do Pigeons & Planes and Twitter.

Obviously it's all pure speculation, but one thing is for certain: whatever the collaboration is, it sounds pretty spectacular. Hear a snippet below — and keep your ears ready for what sounds like Thugger around the 0:18 mark.

Edit: Rapper Allan Kingdom has confirmed that the feature is him, not Young Thug.
