There are plenty of artists who claim to be working on new music all the time. And then there's Future, who seems to constantly be putting out new material.
Without much notice, the Atlanta rapper late Thursday shared his Beastmode 2 mixtape, the followup to his 2015 project. "Should I give my fans a mixtape until my album complete?" he asked earlier in the evening on Twitter, before noting he "can’t keep the streets waiting."
The project, which was executive produced by Zaytoven and Seth Firkins, the latter of whom had been Future's in-house engineer until he passed away last year.
Beastmode 2 follows two full-lengths, Future's self-titled album and HNDRXX, both released last year. He and Young Thug also released a collaborative project last October. And as he noted himself, this is simply an appetizer until another brand new record arrives.
On top of the new music, Future is going on tour with Nicki Minaj, starting in late September. That's a month after Minaj's album drops, but perhaps it could also hint at Future's own album timeline.
