Earlier this week, elder rap hedonist made his first appearance<\/a> in our Number Ones column. It won’t be his last. Future has been making an impact on popular music for a very, very long time. His first #1 hit was also his 125th chart hit on the Hot 100. He’s a defining generational star. A couple of years ago, he helped ignite the Drake\/Kendrick Lamar beef when Kendrick launched his opening volley on the Future\/Metro Boomin collab “Like That.<\/a>” A few months ago, old collaborators Future and Drake reunited on Drake’s #2 hit “Ran To Atlanta<\/a>.” Future simply continues to float above the fray, and now he’s got a new album on the way.<\/p>\n Today, Future drops his new single “Radio,” which has a ghostly, melodic beat from producers Wheezy, Taurus, and Dez Wright. Despite the title, the hook is Future insisting that the song is not<\/em> for the radio. It’s mostly one long verse of Future singing romantically about not being a romantic. In the video, he hangs out with a bunch of pretty girls.<\/p>\n “Radio” is our first taste of a new Future album called The Real Me<\/em>. It’ll be his first full-length since 2024, the year that he released three of them \u2014 the Metro Boomin collabs We Don’t Trust You<\/a><\/em> and We Still Don’t Trust You<\/a> <\/em>and the solo effort Mixtape Pluto<\/a><\/em>. The Real Me<\/em> doesn’t have a tracklist or anything yet, but it’s coming out next month. Watch the “Radio” video below.<\/p>\n
