Future’s new album to feature Drake, Kanye West and more.
Future is all set to drop his new studio album on April 29th, and before that he Covers GQ’s magazine’s latest issue for May. The rapper sat down with Elliott Wilson at the Jungle City studio in Manhattan for a new interview. “That’s because I’m happy,” said Future on the pause since his previous album. “I’m genuinely happy with life. And there was a time where I was only happy when I was on the stage, and in the studio. Like it was my escape.”
“I got here through music,” Future says on being called most influential artist of the past decade by Kanye West. “I didn’t get here for having the best interviews. Other dudes in the world can have the best speech. They can do this in one take and it’d be perfect. I just found a way to make art with words. And through that, that’s just how I live.”

He also touched on working with Drake on several hits, including the most recent “Way 2 Sexy”. “Anytime we work in the studio, the level, the energy—we’re trying to perfect this sh*t but still stay raw, still stay gritty, and still be moving at the speed of the universe.” “We made the most out of it. You’re in a place where your self-esteem and ego allow a person to be in your space. And not be afraid to be like: I want to align and build with this…. You’re never weak when you understand another man’s strengths. I’m never weak now. I know what I need to be unstoppable. I know what I need to feel like, Okay, I’m never lacking, or, I’m never down.”
