Rapper Future debuts Mixtape Pluto, his first solo project in eight years

Future recently dropped his new Mixtape Pluto, which has also made headlines in its own right. Many are pointing out the audible Playboi Carti influences on the track and the notable, albeit unexpected, absence of guest features. The mixtape came out on the same day as Gunna's latest album, September 20. Notably, it's the rapper's first solo in eight years.

The last albums saw collaborations with A-listers like Metro Boomin. While there were rumors that the rapper would join forces with Travis Scott, he flew solo, enlisting the help of producers like Southside, Wheezy, and ATL Jacob. Hits Daily Double reported that the mixtape is anticipated to sell between 120-135,000 album-equivalent units in its first week.

The rapper's latest release incorporates elements of his personal life, serving as a tribute to his late mentor and cousin, Rico Wade, who passed away earlier this year at the age of 52. According to Stop The Breaks, the house on the cover of Mixtape Pluto was Wade's mother's.


The rapper has given fans many a sneak peek for songs yet to come out this year. This means that there may be another Future project coming hot on the heels of the latest drop. Fans will have to stay tuned to find out more.
