Future made the announcement that his second studio album, 'Future Hendrix,' would be due out after the release of 'FBG: The Movie.' Unlike his first album, 'Future Hendrix' was thought to be a more substantial musical effort that included R&B music. Its debut song, 'Karate Chop,' with Casino, debuted in January 2013. Future changed the album's name to 'Honest' in August. Following several rumors, 'Honest' was finally released in April 2014. Kanye West, Rihanna, Ciara, and others contributed to the album.
Future released three mixtapes between 2014 and 2015: 'Monster,' 'Beast Mode,' and '56 Nights.' It's interesting to note that every mixtape performed remarkably well and received high praise from critics.
Future released his next commercially successful album, 'DS2,' in July 2015. Later that year, he released a joint mixtape with Canadian rapper Drake called 'What a Time to Be Alive.' Future became the first rapper to have two number-one albums in a calendar year more than ten years ago, as the album debuted at the top of the Billboard 200, Billboard R&B Charts, and Billboard Hot Rap Songs charts. Over 334,000 copies of the mixtape alone were sold in 2016.
Future put out a new mixtape in January 2016 called 'Purple Reign.' His fourth studio album, 'EVOL,' which had its debut on DJ Khaled's first edition of the Beats 1 radio show 'We The Best,' was then released. With the release of his fourth album, Future has had three consecutive number-one albums on the Billboard 200 since the 2010 Glee soundtrack albums.
In addition to albums and mixtapes, Future also recorded a number of singles, including 'Turn On the Lights,' 'Move That Dope,' 'Fuck Up Some Commas,' 'Where Ya At,' 'Jumpman,' 'Low Life,' and 'Mask Off,' that have been awarded golden status.
The fifth studio album by Future, which bears his name, was released in February 2017.
