Future says that he’s in “album mode” as he preps his tenth studio album. The iconic Atlanta rapper made the announcement in a post on Twitter, Wednesday. “Im in album mode,” he wrote in the succinct tweet. He didn’t provide any further details as to what fans can expect from the project, nor when it will release. The post does come after Metro Boomin recently teased working on a full-length project with Future.
“[Future] actually finished most of the album at my studio in LA. That’s my brother, but we’re working on some things. At first, we were going to put a couple of songs with me and him on the album, but we had took them off because I had talked to him,” Metro told Ebro Darden in an interview. “I was like, ‘Look, the last time anybody’s really heard a song from me and you was ‘Mask Off.’ So instead of us randomly throwing one or two songs we did on here, we got to wait and just give them a joint.’”
Future’s Announcement
Future previously spoke about his untitled tenth studio album during an interview with Billboard, in November. At the time, he explained that his current goal is to become a billionaire. “A lot of money,” he said, when asked what he wants from the project. “That’s a lot of damn money. My main focus right now is just to do something I never done. One thing I never done is make a billion dollars. I ain’t done that, so I’m focused on that.”
“Sometimes I ask questions, if I meet a billionaire, like, ‘How’d you get to where you got?’ Or, ‘How’d you accomplish everything that you have?’” he explained. “I have those conversations with different people, successful people. But the way I get mine might be different. It just helps me to understand that I’m on the right path when I talk to people that have billions. When I hear them talk, I be like, ‘OK, I’m on the right path.’ They reassure me that I’m doing the right thing. No matter what my music career is, I want to just be able to have that friend, somebody that always has my back, [and] just priceless individuals getting me wherever I need to go. Even when it’s going crazy for me, I know I have priceless people around me. I got unconditional love.”
Future’s announcement comes after his latest album, I Never Liked You, was nominated for Best Rap Album at the 2023 Grammy Awards. The project debuted atop the US Billboard 200, back in April, while earning 222,000 album-equivalent units. Future ended up losing Best Rap Album to Kendrick Lamar.
