I pressed play on Future’s new album and immediately noticed how much the beats drive the whole project.

TOP 5
5. In Her Mouth
Future clearly wants to go to jail, first class.
Future comes out swinging on this track, spitting with a clarity and bite that demands attention. Lyrically, it’s not his most intricate work, as he takes aim at DAs, prosecutors, and everyone involved in locking up my negro William Avery.
I love this track’s tempo. I also enjoy how gritty the chorus sounds, especially over the bass-heavy, evil production.
4. Ain’t No Time
How can you tell us you have no time in the intro?
Future doesn’t just start albums—he kicks the door open with a flamethrower, and “Ain’t No Time” is proof. The track rides on a classic Future beat that absolutely bumps, but it’s the hypnotic chorus that really sticks.
Future has a gift for “freaking” beats like this, and that’s no small feat. To pull it off, you have to catch the vibe, spotlight the key moments, and decide how to weave your flow through the production. It’s a skill that demands both instinct and precision, and Future makes it sound effortless.
3. Seven Rings
If I’m going strictly by rings, I’d have to call Robert Horry the second-greatest player in NBA history.
Anytime you give Future a siren, he turns into a Super Saiyan. “Seven Rings” is proof—there’s a piercing siren layered over a haunting trap beat with the perfect tempo. Future stays cool while rapping about stacking money, popping xannies with his boys, and, of course, flaunting all his rings. It feels like the exact track you’d make after hitting a massive parlay—pure temporary adulation. And my favorite part of the song? The hook. I f**king love how wavy it sounds.
2. Wicked
Metro Boomin is a genius and a sicko for creating this “Wicked” beat.
Deadass, I think “Wicked” has one of the hardest beats I’ve ever heard. It’s pure diabolical trap, full of those heavy stomps I can’t get enough of. Future rides it exactly how I’d hope—laying down an elite, slightly off-kilter hook that’s crazy catchy, then sliding into verses where his cold delivery details the drugs he’s on and the wicked cars he’s whipping. Holy f**k, this song is weird and fun.
1. Low Life (Ft. The Weeknd)
I feel bad for women. Future and The Weeknd are completely different people, but are equally demonic when it comes to how they treat women.
“Low Life” feels tailor-made for The Weeknd—it’s got that soulful, almost dreamlike vibe I love.
Future brings his own flavor, too. I can’t get enough of the super-catchy flow he uses on his verse, and he’s so clear this time—it’s like he finally decided to show off some real enunciation.
Lyrically, the two rappers flex about their wild lifestyles—cheating, drugs, and cars that sound like they could roll through flames like Ghost Rider. If that’s what they call the “low life,” then sign me and my bros up.

RGM RATING

First and foremost, the production on this album grabbed me right away. I said in my I’m Up review that Young Thug picks the best beats these days, but Future clearly wants a word with me after this release. The instrumentals here are versatile—enough variety to stay interesting—yet still rooted in the sounds that let him thrive.
Of course, great beats only matter if the artist knows how to ride them. Future does exactly that. He’s not aiming for lyrical fireworks, but his melodies, flows, and the way he approaches each track keep things moving. It’s less about deep wordplay and more about energy and style, and that works in his favor.
Across the runtime, the album feels consistently solid. There aren’t huge surprises, but nothing falls flat either. I found myself replaying several tracks just to hear how Future glides over the production.
Overall, this project plays like an appetizer—something to hold fans over while he lines up the next big release. I can easily see it soundtracking the rest of winter and sliding into spring and summer playlists.
