Future's strong work ethic is well-known. He released numerous mixtapes in the mid-2010s and recently collaborated on two albums with Metro Boomin, igniting the Drake and Kendrick Lamar feud. Despite some jabs at the 6 God, it seemed like Future was moving past the battle to focus on new music. His announcements on X (formerly Twitter) on May 7 about "May 10" and "Mixtape Pluto" stirred up excitement among fans. However, the highly anticipated mixtape didn't materialize on the promised date. Instead, Future surprised fans with a new single featuring Tee Grizzley called "Swear to God." The track received positive reviews, showcasing Future's and Grizzley's lyrical prowess over a dynamic trap beat. The confusion arose from the lyrics of "Swear to God," particularly the line expressing superiority of mixtapes over albums.
While this served as effective promotion for "Swear to God," it left fans disheartened as they had hoped for a full mixtape release. Future has not released a solo mixtape since Purple Reign in 2016 nor a collaborative tape since Wrld on Drugs in 2018. Despite this, his recent single demonstrates his signature "mixtape Pluto" style, offering a glimpse of what fans have been eagerly awaiting. Keep it locked to 103.5 The Beat for more!
