Future the wizrd mixtape skin#
Join us on Vero, as we get under the skin of global cultural happenings. The world of hip-hop and rap is changing and, while Future’s pattern works well, it becomes slightly repetitive with every listen.įuture described his seventh release as the “end of a chapter”, and if that means a revamp of his sound with its immense potential to be brilliant and history-making once again, then that is a welcome end and a much-anticipated new beginning. The forthcoming candidness in tracks ‘Krazy But True’ and ‘Tricks On Me’ are refreshing, and the record could have done with that brand of honesty in more of its songs. But this signature sound – stuttering fast-paced basslines and autotuned choruses – becomes a worn-out formula when played over and over again, and that’s exactly where the problem with ‘The Wizrd’ lies. It’s one that created rap history redefining what hip-hop bangers would come to mean in the club world. Right from the get-go, the 20-track production packed with Future’s signature wordplay establishes an anthemic presence starting off with slow, melodic ‘Never Stop’, the album sets itself on a prolific run from its very first notes.įor the most part, Future raps about things that many rappers do – money and fame – as he does on solid banger ‘Temptation’, but he finds clarity and introspection on the album too: exploring addiction on ‘Krazy But True’ and ‘Tricks On Me’ – and features from Travis Scott on ‘First Off’ and Young Thug and Gunna on ‘Unicorn Purp’ lift the project.Ĭoming a long way from his first album, 2012’s ‘Pluto’, Future’s sound however remains the same nine years later.

The album opens with the low-key cut “Never Stop” where Future opens up and sounds vulnerable and exceptionally clever at the same. 1 in just three years, five months and three weeks, which marks the quickest accumulation of no 1s in a short span. The album moved 126,000 units in first week sales. Using an abundance of different flows and styles that he’s mastered over his lengthy discography, Future delivers a familiar sound that we all have come to adore. 1 debut on the Billboard 200 charts with his latest album, The WIZRD. Future doesn’t show us anything we haven’t seen before on this album but it isn’t necessary. While we love a clean rollout, the true execution came via 20 well-written trap cuts that vary in style. The Marketing team at Epic records absolutely deserves a raise after their work on this project. It started with a perfect rollout that included two hard-hitting singles and a number of captivating interviews and video clips that portrayed Future in excellent light and defiantly stirred up a lot of excitement.
If there is one word to describe The WIZRD it’s execution. Over the course of the hour-long run-time Future flexes a number of styles that he has previously mastered well always sounding fresh and exciting. The WIZRD truly is Future in his most authentic form. Before his album being released in April 2012.
