Following rumors earlier this month of a collaborative mixtape from Drake and Future, the rappers have confirmed such a project—titled What a Time to Be Alive—does exist and will be released on Sunday (Sept. 20).
Drake said Saturday night during a performance at Midtown Music Festival in Atlanta (Future's hometown) that he had taken a break from his long-teased album Views from the 6 to work on a mixtape with Future.

The pair revealed Saturday on Instagram the joint set will arrive tomorrow at 8 p.m. EST on iTunes, after a special edition of Drake's OVO Sound Radio show at 6 p.m. EST on Apple Music's Beats 1.
While this news likely means Drake's next solo album may not arrive until 2016, Alive should be welcomed by many hip-hop fans, considering both MCs released No. 1 albums earlier this year, Drizzy's If You're Reading This It's Too Late and Future's Dirty Sprite 2.
