Future is back in mixtape mode as he releases his latest project, Mixtape Pluto, just in time for the final days of summer.
Future Returns of Mixtape’s New Products
After months of teasing the project, the future is now. Hendrix released his new mixtape Mixtape Pluto on Friday (September 20). The latest album, Future’s third in 2024, has 17 songs and no special features. On the production side, Future has hired frequent collaborators Southside and Wheezy Outta Here.
Future first appeared in May, teasing fans with a mixtape. However, this particular announcement turns out to be a new song. Later that month, he insisted he wouldn’t rest until the new tape was finished. On August 4, he posted a photo of himself on Instagram with the caption, “Mixtape Future Loading.” On September 2, Travis Scott took part in the promotion by sharing a clip of the song “South of France” on social media. Then, on September 9, Hendrix raised expectations by releasing a trailer for the new product, which was officially announced two days later.
Immediately after Future and Metro Boomin concluded their We Trust You tour in Vancouver on September 9th, Hendrix announced to the public that he was ready to release Mixtape Pluto. Future posted cover art for the tape as well as a new line of Mixtape Pluto merchandise on Instagram on September 10, noting that September 20 is the day the long-awaited project will see the light of day.
“Fuck the publicity,” he writes in the mixtape release announcement below. “I pulled this out of the mud. MIXTAPE PLUTO 9-20-24.”
The cover art for Future’s Mixtape Pluto is a photo of the house where The Dungeon studio is located. “Dungeon” is set in the basement of Atlanta producer Rico Wade’s mother’s house. Rico Wade is a key figure in the production collective Organized Noize and a founding member of Dungeon Family. Wade played an important role in the production of albums such as OutKast and Goodie Mob. He died in April this year. Wade is Future’s cousin who inspires Future to become a rapper. The Mixtape Pluto cover is a dedication to Wade’s legacy.
