Between late 2014 and early 2015, he released a trio of mixtapes to critical praise: Monster (2014), Beast Mode (2015), and 56 Nights (2015). His next releases, DS2 (2015), What a Time to Be Alive (2015, in collaboration with Drake), Evol (2016), Future (2017) and Hndrxx (2017) all debuted at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200. The latter two made him the first artist since 2014 to debut two albums in consecutive weeks atop of that chart. Future has also released several singles certified gold or higher by the RIAA, including "Turn On the Lights", "Move That Dope", "Fuck Up Some Commas", "Where Ya At", "Jumpman", "Low Life" and "Mask Off".
Nayvadius DeMun Wilburn[7] was born on November 20, 1983[7][8] in Atlanta, Georgia.[9][10][11] He began using his stage name while performing as one of the members of the musical collective The Dungeon Family, where he was nicknamed "The Future". His first cousin, record producer, and Dungeon Family member Rico Wade, encouraged him to sharpen his writing skills and pursue a career as a rapper. He attended Columbia High School. Future voices his praise of Wade's musical influence and instruction, calling him the "mastermind" behind his sound.[11] He soon came under the wing of Atlanta's own Rocko who signed him to his label A-1 Recordings. Since then his work ethic has driven him to his success.[12] From 2010 to early 2011, Future released a series of mixtapes including 1000, Dirty Sprite and True Story.[12][13] The latter included the single "Tony Montana", in reference to the Scarface film.[13][14] During that time, Future was also partnering with rapper Gucci Mane on their collaborative album Free Bricks, and co-wrote YC's single "Racks".[15][16] He gained popularity after his songs were played by DJ Esco at Magic City,[17] a strip club in Atlanta deemed "largely responsible for launching the careers of artists."[18]
Future signed a major label recording contract with Epic Records fellow American rapper Rocko's A1 Recordings, in September 2011, days before the release of his next mixtape, Streetz Calling.[19] The mixtape was described by XXL magazine as ranging from "simple and soundly executed boasts" to "futuristic drinking and drugging jams" to "tales of the grind".[16] A Pitchfork review remarked that on the mixtape Future comes "as close as anyone to perfecting this thread of ringtone pop, where singing and rapping are practically the same thing, and conversing 100% through Auto-Tune doesn't mean you still can't talk about how you used to sell drugs. It would almost feel antiquated if Future weren't amassing hits, or if he weren't bringing some subtle new dimensions to the micro-genre.
Though Future had told MTV that Streetz Calling would be his final mixtape prior to the release of his debut studio album, another mixtape, Astronaut Status, was released in January 2012. In December 2011, Future was featured on the cover of Issue #77 of The FADER.[20] Before his album being released in April 2012.[21][22] XXL's Troy Mathews wrote, "While Astronaut Status is up and down and never really hits the highs like 'Racks', 'Tony Montana', and 'Magic' that fans have come to expect from Future, it’s apparent that he’s poised to continue the buzz of 2011 humming right along into 2012."[23] Future was selected to the annual XXL Freshmen list in early 2012.[24] His debut album Pluto, originally planned for January, was eventually released on April 17.[25][26] It included remixes of "Tony Montana" featuring Drake and "Magic" featuring T.I..[27] According to Future, "'Magic' was the first record T.I. jumped on when he came outta jail. Like, he was out of jail a day and he jumped straight on the 'Magic' record without me even knowing about it."[27] The track became Future's first single to enter the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[28] Other collaborators on the album include Trae Tha Truth, R. Kelly and Snoop Dogg [29] On October 8, 2012, Pusha T released "Pain" featuring Future, the first single from his upcoming debut album.
The album's lead single, "Karate Chop" featuring Casino, premiered on January 25, 2013, and was sent to urban radio on January 29, 2013.[34] The song is produced by Metro Boomin. The official remix, which features Lil Wayne, was sent radio and was released on iTunes on February 19, 2013. On August 7, 2013, Future changed the title of his second album from Future Hendrix to Honest and announced that it would be released on November 26, 2013.[35] It was later revealed that the album would be pushed back to April 22, 2014, as it was said that Future has tour dates with Drake on Would You Like A Tour?.[36] In December 2013, it was announced that Future would make a guest appearance on Kat Dahlia's upcoming debut, My Garden.[37] Future released DS2 on July 16, 2015.
On September 20, 2015, Future released a collaborative mixtape with Canadian rapper Drake, titled What a Time to Be Alive.[38][39] The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, Billboard R&B Charts, and Billboard Hot Rap Songs, marking the first time a rapper was able to score two number one albums in a year, in 11 years, since Jay Z back in 2004. The mixtape has sold over 334,000 copies in the U.S.[40] On January 17, 2016, Future released another mixtape, titled Purple Reign, with executive production from Metro Boomin and DJ Esco, as well as beat credits from Southside, Zaytoven and more.[41] On February 5, 2016, Future premiered his fourth studio album, EVOL, on DJ Khaled's debut episode of the Beats 1 radio show We The Best.[42] In 2016, Future became the fastest artist to chart three number-one albums on the Billboard 200 since Glee soundtrack albums in 2010.[43]
On Valentine's Day 2017, Future announced via Instagram that his self-titled fifth studio album would be released on February 17, 2017.[45] Exactly one week later, he would release his sixth studio album titled Hndrxx. Both albums went number one consecutively, which made Future the first artist to debut two albums at number one at the same time on the Billboard 200 and Canadian Albums Chart. He, along with Ed Sheeran, collaborated with pop musician Taylor Swift on the song "End Game" from her album Reputation.[46] The song peaked at number 18 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was Future's eighth top 20 hit
On January 18, 2019, Future released his seventh studio album, Future Hndrxx Presents: The Wizrd. The album consists of 20 songs and was promoted by a film titled The Wizrd, released on January 11 on Apple Music.[51] The Wizrd received generally positive reviews from critics[52] and became Future's sixth US number-one album, debuting at number one on the US Billboard 200 with 125,000 album-equivalent units (including 15,000 pure album sales).[53] With the release of The Wizrd, several songs from the album charted on theBillboard Hot 100, leading to Future becoming the artist with the 10th most entries in Hot 100 history.[54]
After teaming up with NAV (“Amazing”), the Freebandz boss keeps going with his latest motivational anthem “Be Encouraged,” which was released on YouTube. Over Metro Boomin’s production, Future boasts about his ice (“My shit just look like a fountain”), pays homage to the streets (“I’m so in tune with the streets”), and proclaims his greatness (“I feel like God right now”).
Following the release of The WIZRD in January, the Grammy-winning rapper is working on new music including a possible sequel to What a Time to Be Alive, his 2015 joint project with Drake.
The new tune has surfaced via the mysterious alternate YouTube account which reportedly belongs to Future himself. It’s got the same Trap sound we are used to hearing from the Atlanta star. A couple of days ago, as many as eight new songs from Future surfaced online via SoundCloud. Listen to ‘Be Encouraged’ produced by Metro Boomin below.
The Freebandz head honcho, Future is back. Today the ATLien makes his return to the interwebs with a brand new single for our listening enjoyment. The new single is called “Be Encouraged,” a braggadocious and highly contagious new cut. The wordsmith serves up a motivational anthem, doing so over top of production from Metro Boomin.
Driven by some hard-hitting, deep drum sections while paired with some slick melodies, the track provides Future with one hell of a home to do his thing. He takes to the track and speaks about his collection of ice, pays homage to the streets and even makes time to proclaim his greatness along the way. The track comes after a busy couple of months for Future, who released The WIZRD in January while working on new music including a possible sequel to What a Time to Be Alive.
