Future releases new song, announces new album 'EVOL' (due out Saturday); Young Thug renames 'SS3' 'IM-UP'
by Andrew Sacher
The insanely prolific (and great) rapper Future put out one full length of 2016 so far, Purple Reign, and he’s already promising a new one for this Friday (2/5). It’s supposed to premiere on DJ Khaled’s Apple Music show. While we wait for that, Future just put out another new track called “In Abundance.” The artwork is the Purple Reign artwork, so maybe it’s a leftover from those sessions. Either way, it’s predictably great and you can hear it below.
He also tweeted “Midight Eastern” about an hour ago. UPDATE: Now he clarifies that the pre-order goes live at midnight for his new album, titled EVOL. He also mentions he has a new deal with Apple Music.
Future and Young Thug, whose new mixtape Slime Season 3 is also due out this Friday, have been taking shots at each other on Twitter. Thug pulled a Kanye and at the last minute changed the title to IM-UP:
I'm on my #yeezy shit, fuck ss3…..
It's now ""IM-UP"" tweet up— Young Thug ひ (@youngthug) February 3, 2016
Future is touring with Ty Dolla $ign this month and also playing the just-announced Roots Picnic in June.
UPDATE: The pre-order is live now, and it’s actually due out Saturday (2/6). It includes The Weeknd collaboration “Low Life,” which came out on Christmas. It doesn’t include “In Abundance.” Check out the full tracklist below.
