In early May, Future got fans excited when he wrote on X: “Fuck yo album Shit ain’t slappin like my MIXTAPE.” Now, after months of speculation, he has announced it Mixtape Pluto Released on September 20. Take a look at the mixtape cover and trailer below.
Mixtape Pluto will mark Future’s third full-length project in 2024. On Friday, March 22, the Atlanta rapper shared his first collaborative album with Metro Boomin, We don’t trust you. Three weeks later, on April 12, the artists dropped another new project. We still don’t trust you. Listeners and fans felt the first album was filled with veiled shots at Drake, with the most direct attacks coming from guest Kendrick Lamar on “Like That.”
(Lamar also called out J. Cole in his verse, who responded to the Compton artist with a “7 Minute Drill.” Cole quickly apologized for the diss track and removed it from digital streaming platforms.
The insults seemed to continue We still don’t trust youFuture and Metro Boomin recruit more Drake collaborators like J. Cole, The Weeknd, and A$AP Rocky for the album.
After “Like That,” Lamar and Drake found themselves in a heated feud, going back and forth over diss tracks. Drake first responded to “Like That” with “Push Ups.” Before Lamar could respond, Drake teased the Californian with “Taylor Made Freestyle,” which used artificial intelligence technology to come up with verses that sounded like 2Pac and Snoop Dogg. That led to a cease-and-desist letter from 2Pac’s estate, and Drake pulled his disc from his social media pages.
After two disses, Lamar fired back at Drake on “Euphoria” and “6:16 in Los Angeles.” Musician behind For all dogs on the night of May 3 shared his rebuttal, “Family Matters,” and Lamar waited less than an hour to share his own response, a vicious “Meet the Grahams” response. He belted out “Not Like Us” before Drake responded with “The Heart Part 6.”
The diss tracks ended with “The Heart Part 6,” but Lamar celebrated his apparent victory with a Pop Out concert in Inglewood, California. He also mocked Drake in the “Not Like Us” video.
And while Lamar was Drake’s main target in his diss tracks, the Canadian musician also had some choice words for Future and Metro Boomin, among others. For example, in “Family Matters” he called with the line “Future”. “The Pluto shit makes me sick to my stomach, we’ve never really been through it” and followed it up with a Metro Boomin diss: “Leland. Wayne, he’s lame, so I know he’s got to make an impact.”
