Future

The Atlanta-bred rapper Future is an up-and-coming star of the rap game whose outstanding production elevates the Dirty South aesthetic to match his unique voice. Whether leaning on the slurred rap flow on tracks like “Honest” or interjecting auto-tuned hooks on “I Won” and giving a sharp vocal attack on “Move That Dope,” Future is a vocal chameleon. His latest record, Honest, features a host of rap icons like Pharrell, Andre 3000 and Kanye West, but none of them overpower Future’s ill style. (Stoops)
