Jeffery (originally titled No, My Name is Jeffery) is a mixtape by American rapper Young Thug. It was released for retail purchase on August 26, 2016, by 300 Entertainment and Atlantic Records. The mixtape features guest appearances from Gucci Mane, Young Scooter, Travis Scott, Wyclef Jean, and Quavo, as well as executive production from TM88 and Wheezy.Jeffery received acclaim from critics, and charted at number eight on the Billboard 200. It was named among the best releases of the year by several publications, including Pitchfork, Fact, Complex, and Rolling Stone.

Jeffery was announced on July 9 via Young Thug's Instagram, along with previews of new music. It was initially slated for release on August 16, coinciding with Young Thug's birthday, but was pushed back. The mixtape was accompanied by his decision to abandon the stage name Young Thug in favor of the new moniker No, My Name is Jeffery, or simply his birth name Jeffery. The change of stage name was announced by his manager Lyor Cohen in the preparation for the mixtape's release. According to Young Thug, "Jeffery is all about Jeffery. It ain't even about Young Thug. Ain't no Young Thug songs on there. The mixtape is a straight crossover." On Beats 1, he clarified that the name change was only for one week, unless the mixtape sold 100,000 copies.

The song "Kanye West" (originally titled "Elton" and then later "Pop Man") featuring Wyclef Jean, was released on August 19, 2016. The mixtape release was preceded by a short album trailer released on August 20, which depicted Young Thug being interrogated about his name by the authorities. Each track was named after one of Young Thug's "idols", including Gucci Mane ("Guwop"), Rihanna ("RiRi"), Future ("Future Swag"), and Harambe (the gorilla that was killed at the Cincinnati Zoo in May 2016). The project artwork features Young Thug in an androgynous dress designed by Italian designer Alessandro Trincone, and was photographed by Garfield Lamond. The artwork went viral and prompted a wide range of responses on social media.
