The Atlanta Trap Music Museum will honor Future this summer. The organization officially announced the news on Tuesday, May 30, and they will hold the ceremony on Jun 8. Future, renowned for tracks like “Super Trapper,” will be awarded the prestigious title of “Trapper of the Year” for 2022. DJ Major Key will provide the celebratory music for the event. Futhermore, T.I., the founder of the Trap Music Museum, will present Future with a custom Trapper of the Year ring designed by Ice Box Jewelry. Additionally, they will unveil an entire art exhibit dedicated to Future on June 8.

Future appears to be in very good company. T.I. established the Trap Music Museum in 2019 as part of his 15-year anniversary celebration of his iconic 2003 album, Trap Muzik. Last year, they honored Moneybagg Yo as the Trapper of the Year for 2021. The Trap Music Museum wrote on Instagram, urging everyone to join the celebration and witness the crowning of Future as the 2022 Trapper of the Year. Future’s outstanding achievements in the past year make him a deserving recipient of this title. His album I Never Liked You received widespread acclaim in the hip-hop community. Furthermore, his hit song “Wait For U” featuring Drake and Tems won a Grammy Award and Song of the Year at the XXL Awards 2023.

Future Invests In Atlanta

Future has been making some big moves to invest in education in his hometown. According to a report from January 2023, experts deem only 20% of high school graduates ready for college-level STEM coursework. This encompasses science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. However, this percentage is likely even lower in regions with insufficient or unequal educational funding. Renowned rapper Future hails from Atlanta, which had previously gained recognition as one of the top areas for STEM careers. Nevertheless, a significant disparity exists between the corporate world and STEM education at the high school level. In an effort to address this inequity, Future has taken action by establishing the “I Am A Dreamer” STEM Lab at a school in Atlanta.

In a statement, the rapper emphasized the importance of providing STEM education to all students, regardless of their backgrounds. He expressed gratitude to the Freewishes Foundation and the 2K Foundations for their support in making this initiative possible within the Atlanta community. For about a decade, the Freewishes Foundation has dedicated itself to assisting communities in Georgia. With any luck, Future’s support of STEM education in his community will make a big difference.

It’s been just over a year since Memphis rapper Young Dolph’s tragic murder in his hometown.

Although the hip-hop community is continuing to mourn the loss of one of Southern rap’s most prolific stars, there’s some good news for Dolph fans.

The late rapper is set to be honored in the form of a museum called the “Dolphland Pop-up Museum Tour.” The announcement was made by his estate, his record label (Paper Route Empire) and the Trap Music Museum on Wednesday (December 21).

The exhibition will reportedly include both personal items from the Memphis native, as well as curated art. Furthermore, the focus is to reflect Dolph’s “unforgettable lyricism, personality, entrepreneurial spirit, philanthropy and historic moments from his legendary career.”

“The goal of the pop-up museum is to showcase the character of a leader and businessman, and to highlight the journey of someone whose early beginnings may mirror that of many young kids and entrepreneurs starting, so that they may draw inspiration to keep pushing on their own endeavors,” says Paper Route Empire CEO, Daddy-O in a statement.

The exhibit will be coming to several U.S. cities. The first of which will be New York City from January 13-15. Other stops it will make include touching down in Los Angeles, Atlanta, Chicago and Dallas.

The “100 Shots” rapper’s first posthumous album, Paper Route Frank, just arrived earlier this month. The 13-track project boasts features from the likes of Key Glock, Gucci Mane, 2 Chainz and more.

Finally, make sure to stream the posthumous release, as well as the rest of Dolph’s music on your preferred streaming platform. He owns all of his masters, meaning that his family will see the profit from these streams.
