Moving down the tracklist, The Wizrd stands out due to the vulnerability in the lyrics. You’ll be able to distinguish the sounds.” “If you was following me from the beginning to now, you’ll be able to see the growth, you’ll be able to hear the growth. “It’s just me bridging the gap between when I first came out to where I’m at right now,” Future said to Genius.
This was proven on the Tay Keith-assisted track “Temptation,” which ends with a sample of Future’s 2013 hit “Honest.” The use of that sample feels like a full circle moment and depicts the growth that Future referenced in his recent interview with Genius. Although the project is lengthy, Future utilizes impressive beat changes and samples to his favor. It comes as no surprise that the album is fully loaded and unfolds for an hour to be exact. “Love is just a word, it don’t matter to me/I got so rich, nothing matters to me/I’m livin’ my second life, it’s so amazin/… You should’ve never gave up on me without hearing my side of the story,” he spits. Kicking off the album right with an ATL Jacob-produced track, Future doesn’t hold back on the woozy beat. The 20-track LP, which is the follow-up to Future’s 2017 Hndrxx, includes guest appearances from Young Thug, Gunna, and Travis Scott. As this album finalizes Future’s deal with Epic Records, does it snag the title of his best work to date? Let me explain. Shortly after the eighth anniversary of his iconic mixtape Dirty Sprite, the Atlanta rapper releases his highly anticipated seventh studio album Future Hndrxx Presents: The Wizrd. For the last decade, Future has proven his undeniable influence in the music industry. It is often said that an ending is a start to a new beginning.
