After releasing a series of moderately successful mixtapes between 2010 and 2011, Future signed a major label deal with Epic Records and fellow American rapper Rocko's A1 Recordings, which helped launch his own label imprint Freebandz. Future subsequently began working on his debut studio album "Pluto," and in April 2012 released the album to positive reviews. The album spawned five singles, all of which charted on the Billboard Hot 100. The album was later re-released in November, as "Pluto 3D." His second studio album "Honest," was released on April 22, 2014, and is also performing with his group Freeband Gang. He released his highly anticipated third studio album, "DS2," on July 16, 2015. The Atlanta rapper also released several mixtapes during 2015, "Beast Mode" in January, "56 Nights" in March, and "What a Time to Be Alive (with Drake)" in September. Future released "Purple Reign" in January 2016. The 13-track mixtape was executive produced by Metro Boomin and DJ Esco, with additional production from Southside, Zaytoven, and more.

DJ EscoMoeCity, the coolest DJ on the motherfuckin' planet
Aye, aye, aye
Got a money counter on me, baby, how you love that?
I'm a big timer, baby, how you love that?
Got a money counter on me, baby, how you love that?
Got bottles on me right now, how you love that?
I'm drippin' on 'em, baby, how you love that?
I'm drippin' on 'em now, how you love that?
I'm drippin' on 'em now, how you love that?
I'm drippin' flavor, you just a traitor
No sports agent, I am a player
I'm at the Four Seasons like I'm on vacation
Tryna count some paper everyday I wake up
I can't get no sleep, I'm runnin' these bands way up
Louboutins on my feet gettin' laced up
Hublot wrapped around my wrist, it's perfect timer
Hublot wrapped around my wrist, I'm tryna find her
I got fine bitches on me just like Chyna
Here's a chance for you to prove it girl, line up
Ain't no pressure, got a drapper bustin' diamonds
If you care about her, put her in designer
Shawty want a taste of the high life

Firin' automobiles, spinnin' these wheels, yeah, yeah, yeah
Take the top off a seal, take the top off a seal and pour it
Bring me some Codeine I want it, bring me some bars I want it
I got a feelin' she want me like I want her

In Future's song "Drippin," he opens by announcing that he is ready to shoot anyone who does not have DJ EscoMoeCity's trust. That is just the beginning of a brash, swaggering track that tells the listener everything there is to know about Future's life of luxury, fame, and wealth. He boasts about owning a money counter and a Hublot watch, giving away cars and paying rent, and constantly "drippin'" in designer clothes and jewelry. Future is surrounded by beautiful women, including a reference to Blac Chyna, and all he wants is to enjoy the good life.
In the second verse, Future raps about his love for Codeine and his desire for the woman who desires him. He gives a nod to the listeners who love to drip, like him, and promises to get on that drip. The chorus repeats the phrase "shawty wants a taste of the high life," drawing attention to Future's excessive spending, his love for luxury, and his absolute commitment to living life on his own terms.
There are clear themes of excess and wealth in "Drippin," and Future does not shy away from showing off his own luxurious lifestyle. The vocal doubling and melodic structure of the chorus is catchy, and the beat draws on heavy, percussive hits and a subtle, unobtrusive melody. Future's delivery is confident and braggadocious, ensuring that the listener understands the message of the song intimately.
