Album Review: Future - Future

"If that sounds like fans-only, it is."

For someone so prolific, the artist presently known as Future was absent for most of 2016, dropping one mixtape and album in January and February respectively and delaying the release of Beast Mode 2016.

But don't worry — here are 17 new tracks with no features, as the title implies. If that sounds like fans-only, it is. While the skits are probably necessary, they add nothing, and some of the tracks have clearly been in the vault for a while. But there's plenty to pick and choose from such as the hallucinogenic Draco, the soul-sampling Mask Off and the victorious, Zaytoven-produced When I Was Broke. His 2014/2015 mixtape run was legendary, but don't count him out yet.
