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.

Freebandz Bought a building
Straight Up
Aye,
Got the Gucci boots on like it's snowing, straight up
Big booty freak and she foreign, straight up
All my whole team we very important, straight up
Got them racks on me, straight up
With a sat on me, straight up
I'm a spazz on you, straight up
Throw some cash on ya, straight up
Molly with the lean feel like you come from another planet, straight up
Every car I drive you know it gotta be Panamera
I fly like plane, and I ain't gone never land
I tie my strings, 'cause I run to them bandz
I'm on a molly, don't fuck around with them xan's
Got the baby bottles, full of active and zan's
I'mma hot topic, I'm in popular demand
With a penthouse, but forget where I been staying
In a continental with this bad ass Dominican
Gotta cost over eighty racks for me to go sit in
I'm an astronaut, yes, yes, yes I am
I'm gone take these guap and cash out on a lamb
Buy some red bottems, Jimmy Choo be all you wearing
Fuck the dress code, nigga it ain't no comparing
Got the Gucci boots on like it's snowing, straight up
Big booty freak and she foreign, straight up
All my whole team we very important, straight Up
Gotta put red on the bottom of your shoes, straight up
Got them racks on me, straight up
With a Gat on me, straight up
I'm a spazz on you, straight up
Throw some cash on ya, straight up
Molly with the lean feel like you come from another planet, straight up
Every car I drive you know it gotta be Panamera
I'm a go to Mars (Then what?)
And take the baddest broad
This ain't no facade
She a natural porn star
Emilio (What up?)
Vanity, no pooch
Show room floor
We go to sleep in Gucci
This ain't tricking off, this how you kick it with a boss
We blasting off (What?)
Like a rocket what you thought?
On another level, we put diamonds in our cross
Keep that heavy metal
Like a rock star so don't you cross
From another planet
Yeah, yeah, yes I am, I got your baby mammy
She in love with who I am
Riding panoramic, with the turbo boost and she got red on her
Like she down with SUWOO
Got the Gucci boots on like it's snowing, straight up
Big booty freak and she foreign, straight up
All my whole team we very important, straight up
Gotta put red on the bottom of your shoes, straight up
Got them racks on me, straight up
With a Gat on me, straight up

Every car I drive you know it gotta be Panamera straight up
