Future Drops Trailer for Kanye West Collaboration ‘Keep It Burning’

by

In less than four days, Future is set to release his new album I Never Liked You.

After announcing the album title, he has shared a preview of his collaboration with Kanye West, reportedly titled “Keep It Burning.”

“Cross me so much, I got nails in my hand / City on fire,” Ye raps in the video trailer before Hndrxx sets it off on his verse.

The song originally appeared on an early version of Ye’s DONDA 2, which Future executive produced, before it was removed from the album.

In his GQ cover story, Future opened up about his friendship with Ye. “Me and Kanye always had a relationship,” he said. “But it’s hard for people to understand, because I don’t put everything on Instagram. Kanye flew me to Paris in 2011 or 2012 to work on music. [Discussing] his clothing line before it came, his shoe business before it came. People don’t know I’ve been able to go to his house, and pull up right into the crib. We just never talked about it.”

The full song drops Friday alongside I Never Liked You, which is also expected to include collaborations with FKA twigs and Babyface Ray. Earlier in the week, Future revealed the cover art.

“Putting this project together is just people understanding that I love hard. Probably love the hardest,” he told GQ. “I wanted to showcase my skills as far as melodies and topics and being vulnerable.”

The ‘Metal Lords’ Trailer Gives A Shred-Worthy Look At The Netflix Film From D.B. Weiss And Tom Morello

by

While preparing to make Game of Thrones, a project he never expected to get off the ground, D.B. Weiss wrote a script called Metal Lords that hit the backburner as Thrones became a mammoth juggernaut for HBO. However, once the dragon series concluded its eight season run, Weiss quickly returned to his film about a high school metal band and retooled the script that hadn’t been touched since 2006.

Along the way, he became friends with Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello. Morello came aboard the Netflix film as an executive producer, but the musician quickly took on the role of a hard rocking advisor as he pushed the actors to fully embrace the metal genre.

“It doesn’t matter the accuracy of your cymbal hits. You just have to go fucking berserk the entire time,” Morello told Billboard. “That’s metal! Don’t worry about the rest. Kick my ass with your facial expressions, which should be, at a minimum, Neanderthal-like and at a maximum, like you’re just in some sort of roiling pain and never stop doing that.”

Here’s the official synopsis for Metal Lords:

Two kids want to start a heavy metal band in a high school where exactly two kids care about heavy metal. Hunter (Adrian Greensmith) is a diehard metal fan —is there any other kind?— who knows his history and can shred. His dream in life is to win at the upcoming Battle of the Bands. He enlists his best friend Kevin (Jaeden Martell) to man the drums. But with schoolmates more interested in Bieber than Black Sabbath, finding a bassist is a struggle.

Metal Lords starts shredding April 8 on Netflix.
