Future bio (SEO):
Nayvadius DeMun Cash (né Wilburn; born November 20, 1983), known professionally as Future, is an American rapper and singer. Known for his mumble-styled vocals and prolific output, Future is considered a pioneer of the use of Auto-Tuned melodies in trap music. Due to the sustained popularity of this musical style, he is commonly regarded as one of the most influential rappers of his generation.
Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, Future signed a recording contract with Rocko's A1 Recordings in 2011, which entered a joint venture with Epic Records shortly after. His first two studio albums, Pluto (2012) and Honest (2014) were both met with critical and commercial success, spawning the platinum-certified singles "Turn On the Lights", "Honest", "Move That Dope" (featuring Pharrell Williams and Pusha T), and "I Won" (featuring Kanye West). His subsequent albums have each debuted atop the US Billboard 200; his third and fourth, DS2 (2015) and Evol (2016) were supported by the singles "Where Ya At" (featuring Drake) and "Low Life" (featuring the Weeknd), respectively. Future's eponymous fifth album and its follow-up, Hndrxx (both 2017) made him the first artist to release two chart-topping albums on the Billboard 200 in consecutive weeks-the former spawned his first Billboard Hot 100-top ten single, "Mask Off."
After departing A1, Future released the albums The Wizrd (2019) and High Off Life (2020)-the latter spawned the diamond-certified single "Life Is Good" (featuring Drake). Future guest appeared alongside Young Thug on Drake's 2021 single "Way 2 Sexy," which became his first number-one song on the Billboard Hot 100 after a record-breaking 125 entries. His ninth album, I Never Liked You (2022) spawned the single "Wait for U" (featuring Drake and Tems), which became his second to peak the chart and first to do so as a lead artist. The song won a Grammy Award for Best Melodic Rap Performance, while its parent album received a nomination for Best Rap Album at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards.
Future has released the mixtapes Beast Mode (with Zaytoven), 56 Nights (with Southside), and What a Time to Be Alive (with Drake) in 2015-the latter spawned the single "Jumpman". He has released the full-length collaborative projects Super Slimey (2017) with Young Thug, Wrld on Drugs (2018) with Juice Wrld, and Pluto x Baby Pluto (2020) with Lil Uzi Vert. Among the best-selling hip hop musicians, Future's accolades include three Grammy Awards from a total of ten nominations.

Even if you can’t relate to the lyrics word for word he transmits the exact feeling that the track attempts to.

I knew about the origin of the album originating from DJ Esco sitting in an Arab jail for 56 nights, but the story about the harddrive, Esco humming the song to himself every day, and the impact the whole situation had on Future makes me appreciate the song even more. Shit goes unbelievably hard.

    @@poindextertunes I think where people differentiate is that Drake switched to a Pop-Rap sound. Something easy to listen to with no real distinction. Once his 'Views' album got him household name status, pretty much everything he's done since then is basically another version of that album. Future has always had a distinct sound. He is methodical about trying new things, and is very often successful with using more alternative sounds. People like Future and Young Thug have inspired so many rappers but no one has been able to replicate what they do which keeps their sound fresh.

    I think Future is one of the most underrated artists in the world. People see him as another Drake, a big artist with lots of hits and no depth. But he revolutionized rap to such a degree that you can barely tell because everyone else sounds exactly like him. Beyond that, from Monster to DS2 to Purple Reign to something completely off the wall like SAVE ME, Future's artistry is so diverse and much of it is timeless. It's kind of hard to express, but there's an ethereal, darkly beautiful quality to his music that no one else really captures. I don't know how Future isn't in the Big 3 conversation because he's absolutely a better artist than two of them.

    I remember when Same Damn Time dropped. finding out he was making music for years before that is crazy. I think a lot of us saw him as younger than he was, and that helped him out. I thought he was the same age as YC when I heard "Racks." I appreciate the criticism that future acts younger than he is, especially with the "I never liked you" album, but it feels like he's playing a role that is 10-15 years younger than his real life.

    I think he is the embodiment of when hopelessness that your situation will change eventually leads to you changing. I think this is what a lot of people especially young men feel.”If my situation is messed up and won’t change no matter what. If people are still gonna hate me. If I’m still gonna lose the people I want Why change ? I’d rather keep doing what I’m good at and see where it gets me.” It’s unfortunate but the lack of options to take, lack of forgiveness to be had for others creates people like this. There is no redemption, no improvement, no empathy for you. The only thing that’s left for you to fall back on is money, drugs, women, and jewelry. So you dive head first into that lifestyle. The person that comes out of that lifestyle is not the same one that went in. This new person, is a monster…
