![]() ![]() But maybe it’s so easy that they can give us the lazy “100it Racks” with the assumption it’ll be a hit no matter what. Regardless of how you feel about any of the individuals involved, a song with Future, Drake, and 2 Chainz should be an easy hit record. Despite the number of noteworthy guest appearances, lack of effort weighs the project down. Future is on autopilot: giving us what he thinks people like about his music (loud songs about drugs and hedonism) and nothing else. Future transparently tries to follow his own formula for making a turn-up song, and he comes off like one of his imitators. ![]() This is unfortunate: as the third record to come before we’ve even reached the halfway point of 2016, it’s starting to feel like Future is dropping music just to stay relevant rather than showing the hunger, originality and insight into his mental state that put him in this position in the first place.Īfter the laid back, chilly intro that uses audio samples of news reports on UFOs and aliens, the tape tries to charge up and hit hard with “Check On Me” but it falls flat. Despite a few strong records, this is a much less inspired Future than the one we’ve seen over the past year. While Esco Terrestrial is technically DJ Esco’s project, the weight of it is carried by Future, as he appears on all but two songs on the tape. This a new mixtape, Project E.T.: Esco Terrestrial, could be considered his third project of the year, following both Purple Reign and * EVOL** *good projects in their own right, but neither bringing anything like an evolution to what came before. The takeaway, in Future’s mind at least, was to keep doing the same thing. It seemed like whatever he released couldn't miss. He dominated the year with three mixtapes (the first, Monster, technically came out in late 2014) in addition to the album DS2**, and a joint project with Drake. After releasing his first solo record, “I.C.W.N.T.,” Hendrix was featured on DJ Stevie’s exotic dancer anthem, “Stripper.” Only months after releasing Super Slimy with Young Thug, Future is reportedly putting the finishing touches on the second installment of Beast Mode.This sort of relentless clip was a major factor in Future’s comeback in 2015. In related news, Future has been really busy as of late. Back in 2015, the Atlanta native released the notable 56 Nights with Future, which was inspired by Esco’s nearly two-month term in a Dubai jail. “I want sack the baddest/I want to know if you tatted/I wanna know if you ratting/Creep on the low like assassins/Trips you never imagined, in whips you never imagined,” raps Future.Įsco, who also serves as Future’s A&R, has worked with the likes of Yo Gotti, Rae Sremmurd, Gucci Mane and others. ![]() With Esco’s signature synths blaring over the backdrop, Super Future and ScHoolboy take turns riding the snapping instrumental as they rap about a variety of boastful topics like money, sex and crime. 26), Esco recruited Future and TDE’s ScHoolboy Q for the project’s first single, “Code of Honor.” The project is slated to be released on Friday. Last week, DJ Esco announced that he has a new album, Kolorblind, on the way. ![]()
