NEW FUTURE- WIZRD

FUTURE HNDRXX- THE WIZRD

Image result for future wizard

It has been almost 2 years since Future blessed us with the double album experience of HNDRXX/FUTURE. With those two projects, we got a few bangers in Mask Off, Draco and PIE to name a few. We also got a couple emotional ballads with Feds Did a Sweep, Turn on Me and Fresh Air.

In the time since those albums we've been treated to a few Future collabs (JuiceWRLD and Young Thug) and Beast Mode 2 but none have quite built me back up to what I felt when I listened to previous Future albums or mixtapes.

Let's get back to the recent drop of The WIZRD which came out with little to no warning we get this 20 song album and all is good with the world.

Interestingly the two songs I heard first from this album were Jumping on a Jet and Crushed Up neither song is a favorite for me on the album. Both feel a little too repetitive with other songs on the album a lot better.

Below are my favorite tracks, favorite lines and what they emote inside me.

Temptation
Future goes from rapping to belting out "I'm tryin' to fight temptation"

F&N
Constant high hats and a few memorable lines.

Call the Coroner
I WANNA BE GLORIOUS

Stick to the Models
Maybe the best beat on here, slow buildup leading to some knocking bass.

Krazy but True
Future does a call in response with himself telling stories of the past and his rise to the star he is now. In the song he brags about where he is now and after stating various facts saying "damn that's krazy but it's true". A unique set up for his flow combined with an eerie beat the flows from right to the left speaker all song long makes this a sick song.

Ain't Coming Back
Best song on the album in my opinion.
"Sometimes I sit down wrist on gold/I done made it without sellin' my soul"



Excuse me while I go get "keeping it cold I'm so different yeah" tattooed in old English on my back.

The Rise of Future Hendrix

Image
About five years ago a friend told me to download the Pulto mixtape by Future. I was familiar with him from the couple of singles he had but had never listened to a full mixtape/album of his. The mixtape was filled with numerous autotuned filled ballads as well as high-energy bangers. I enjoyed the majority of the songs and something about Future's energy was extremely infectious. Fast forward to two years ago and Future solidified himself as one of my favorite rappers. In the span of less than a year Future released five projects: Monster/Beast Mode/56 Nights/Dirty Sprite 2/What a Time to be Alive. The numerous hits and anthems that came were tremendous from March Madness to Thought It Was a Drought every hip hop fan knew every word. Fast forward to this week I was extremely excited to learn that Future would release two albums in one week. With little to no warning, Future dropped the self-titled album FUTURE. The album is high energy with catchy hooks and fast-paced beats

What's better I Need a Girl Part 1 or Part 2?

Image
In the year 2001 P Diddy released the two-part song I Need a Girl. Both songs have a clear distinct sound while being equally fire. Below I will do my best to articulate what separates the two parts of I Need a Girl and which is better. Part 1 P Diddy featuring Usher and Loon A slow pure r&b track with very little bass. Usher kills this song, he even sings over himself in the chorus. Part 2  P. Diddy featuring Loon, Ginuwine & Mario Winans For all you young kids out there this is what a true remix or part two looks like. Using the same theme/melody but flipping it to creating a new song. This part features more an of a hip hop vibe with verses and an r&B chorus. Who can forget Diddy's classic "take that, take that" What part of I Need a Girl is better? In my humble opinion, it has to be part 2. The combination of the bounce in the bass and melody drop will make anyone lose it. You also get what is most likely P Diddy's best l

Drake's Hidden Gems

Aubrey Grahm aka Drizzy aka October's Very Own aka Drake is no doubt a superstar. He has transitioned from child actor to a rapper on Lil Wayne's Young Money label to an icon. His music has become anthems for months and he recently hosted SNL. With this level of popularity, it's hard to imagine his music being anything close to hidden but there are a lot of great songs from Drake you may have missed. I remember listening to Ransom feat. Lil Wayne in my 98 Jetta in 2008 as a Senior in high school via cassette adapter. I am going to try and introduced your or reintroduce you to some great Drake songs you may have glossed over or simply missed. Little Bit feat. Lykke Li Check out this chill love song featuring singer Lykke Li.  I'm Still Fly One of Drake's best early songs. Stuntin' feat Lil Wayne This is a song off of Lil Wayne's Dedication 3 when we didn't know much about Drake. Congratulations Drake does a verse over some Coldpa
