Future Is Back to Put the T in Trap with 'MIXTAPE PLUTO'

As the scary season draws closer, Future unleashes MIXTAPE PLUTO, an album that perfectly encapsulates the spirit of chills and thrills. Now at 40, his haunting delivery and dark, hypnotic beats conjure a sinister atmosphere that lingers throughout the album's 45-minute runtime. The phrase “We are so back” resonates deeply, as MIXTAPE PLUTO serves up spine-tingling bangers that are ideal for the suspenseful, moonlit nights ahead.

With 17 tracks, MIXTAPE PLUTO masterfully intertwines Future’s signature sound with fresh, innovative concepts that reflect the dynamic nature of the current rap landscape. This blend of the familiar and the experimental not only creates a captivating listening experience but also highlights Future’s evolution as an artist, showcasing his ability to adapt and grow while remaining true to his roots.

One standout track, ‘PLUTOSKI,’ sees Future delve even deeper into the realm of mumble rap. The experimental track features a dark, gritty beat, with Future weaving a raw narrative about his drug habits, adding another layer of intensity to the project. The chorus perfectly captures the essence of Future’s unique flow and has the potential to catch even long-time listeners off guard, offering a fresh twist on his signature style.

Another must-listen from the project is ‘OATH,’ arguably one of Future's best trap hits. From the moment the beat drops, it’s clear this track is his to own. Future glides through each bar, delivering hard-hitting lines about the harsh realities of street life and the vow he made as a kid to live outside the law. It serves as a testament not only to the Atlanta trap sound but also to Future’s distinctive style and significant influence in the genre.

However, one notable downside to MIXTAPE PLUTO is that ‘LOST MY DOG’ stands out as a standalone track. It’s the only moment in the mixtape where Future truly delves into his emotions. While it aims to convey a dark fantasy, it feels somewhat out of place within the overall theme. Considering Future's proven talent for crafting poignant songs, it would have been ideal to see more emotional depth woven throughout the album.

Overall, this is one of Future’s strongest releases to date. While it may not reach the heights of some of his previous works on the Billboard charts, this project isn’t about the numbers. It’s for the true Future fans who cherished earlier projects like ‘Monster’ and ‘DS2’ and want to relive that experience years later. Nevertheless, for newcomers to Future’s music, this album serves as an excellent introduction to his artistic style.
