DS2 (Deluxe)

Future’s second studio full-length begins with the menacing sounds of a single, serpentine guitar line and a carbonated beverage being opened and sipped. Like much of DS2—also known as Dirty Sprite 2—“Thought It Was A Drought” finds the rapper floating along in a syrupy haze, combining effervescing vocals and hypnotic production. Where “The Percocet & Stripper Joint” is a plush and unapologetically languid ballad, “Where Ya At” sees the self-proclaimed Future Hendrix joining forces with Drake for a psychedelic banger.
