Prolific by nature, Future (aka Nayvadius DeMun Wilburn) doesn’t abide by the traditional album cycle. Since he first started dropping mixtapes in 2010, he’s built a reputation staked on releasing two or more projects a year. The gravelly voiced rapper whose songs involve moody Auto-Tune released his debut album Pluto in 2012 and tapped Drake for the single “Tony Montana.” Three years later, they teamed up for their collaborative mixtape, What a Time to Be Alive, which served as Future’s victory lap after a nearly locomotive output of work. He quickly became one of the biggest and most popular names in rap, working with Nicki Minaj, Taylor Swift, and an ever-growing list of key players. In 2017, he celebrated with three releases: his self-titled album FUTURE, its follow-up one week later HNDRXX, and his collaborative mixtape with Young Thug, Super Slimey.
