Gotta admit, I hopped on this wave a little late. I was first
introduced to Future Hendrix following his feature on Ace Hood’s trap
anthem Bugatti, followed by his appearance on the track that
literally destroyed my home town, Rocko’s U.O.E.N.O. My first impressions of the
Atlanta-based rapper were honestly rather poor, writing him off as simply
another wannabe trap christ soon to fall into the hands of either Coke Boys or
MMG.
Man the kid couldn’t be more wrong. Following his 2013 nomination for Best Collab from BET for his verse on Bugatti, Future went on to release his second album titled Honest through Epic Records, a release that went on to be nominated for Album of the Year by BET. His single Move that Dope not only won the honor of Club Banger of the Year, but simultaneously established itself as a staple on pre-game mixes and blunt rotations all across the states, shooting Future into stardom and establishing himself as one of the most widely-known names in the game.
With hard verses and his staple Future hooks (I highly recommend peeping The Percocet and Stripper Joint for an example of this) it comes as no surprise that last week’s drop of DS2 literally fucked up the internet. Released only four months after Future's 11th mixtape 56 Nights, the album boasts an astonishing 18 tracks, all of which can be played during any point of a party and gain at least one drunken "Fuck Yeah." Future's monotonous flow, coupled with his semi-melodic hooks create a sound that not only bumps, but one listeners can't seem to get enough of no matter how many times they find themselves yelling "Fuck Up Some Commas" with their boys (or girls). His wordplay, sometimes convoluted and inaudible, holds its own with those in his class, keeping new listeners cracking up and OG fans pointing fingers and mouthing verses wildin'. Be sure to follow the hommie on Twitter and check out DS2, because before you know it, Future will be on the next wave, and you definitely don’t want to miss out like I almost did.
