Future

American rapper and singer

Nayvadius DeMun Wilburn (born November 20, 1983), better known by the stage name Future, is an American rapper and singer. Known for his mumble influenced vocal range and prolific output, Future is considered a pioneer of the use of melodies and vocal effects in modern trap music.

Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, Future signed a recording contract with A1 Recordings and Epic Records in 2011, and released the albums Pluto (2012) and Honest (2014), which contained the platinum singles "Turn On the Lights", "Honest", "Move That Dope", and "I Won". He achieved major critical and commercial success with DS2 (2015) and its singles "Fuck Up Some Commas" and "Where Ya At", and followed it with Evol (2016) and the lead single "Low Life". Future's eponymous fifth album and its successor Hndrxx (both 2017) made him the first artist since 2014 to debut two albums in consecutive weeks atop the US Billboard 200; the former contained the international hit singles "Mask Off" and "Used to This". After departing A1, Future released the albums The Wizrd (2019) and High Off Life (2020), which featured "Life Is Good", his highest charting single as a lead artist on the US Billboard Hot 100. In 2021, Future achieved his first number-one single on the Hot 100 after a record-breaking 125 entries by featuring alongside Young Thug on Drake's "Way 2 Sexy".

Future's prolific output is derived by consistent accompanying solo and collaborative releases to his albums. He released the mixtapes Beast Mode (with Zaytoven), 56 Nights, and What a Time to Be Alive (with Drake) in 2015; the latter included the single "Jumpman". He released the full-length collaborative mixtapes Super Slimey (2017) with Young Thug, Wrld on Drugs (2018) with Juice Wrld, and Pluto x Baby Pluto (2020) with Lil Uzi Vert. One of the world's best selling music artists, Future's accolades include a Grammy Award at the 61st Grammy Awards for Best Rap Performance for the song "King's Dead" alongside Kendrick Lamar, Jay Rock, and James Blake.

All quotes by Future:

My hard work finally catching up with perfect timing

I always hung around older dudes. I feel like I was more wise and I just had more knowledge of what was going on.

Everybody just needs a second chance.

Sometimes it's hard to open up about your personal life, your relationship because you always want the music to be in the forefront. You want the music to be the biggest carrier of everything that you represent.

It's the timing. I don't have to do it [drugs] all the time.

I don't write hits for myself, or for other artists, or to just be writing it. I write it because I was born to do this. I was given this gift and I'm making the most of my opportunity.

If you want to play piano, you just gotta love piano, and I loved the way that music sounded from the beginning. Always did - everything about an instrument I loved.

You know that I can make hits. You know I can do all these rap records. So, I'm going to start opening up and letting you know my struggles.

My favorite rappers are Lil Wayne. I like Wayne.

I've been on the songs of all these rappers that put out an album, and my music is still better.

My die-hard fans who came out - I call them my die-hard fans because any time a fan pays to see you, they have to love what you're doing, respect the craft.

When I played football, basketball and baseball, I was always a starter. I played baseball as the number three or number four hitter. Playing baseball, I was the third baseman or pitcher. Football, I was the quarterback. I was always versatile. It came to me naturally. It was always easy.
