Future dropped his first solo project of the year Mixtape Pluto on Friday (Sept. 20) via Freebandz and Epic Records.

The 17-track project contains “Too Fast” and “Lil Demon,” which he teased earlier this month, as well as “South of France,” which Travis Scott teased even though the tracklist didn’t credit any featured artists. 808 Mafia’s Southside and Wheezy play a role in the production side, according to the former’s Instagram.


Mixtape Pluto marks the Atlanta native’s third project of 2024, following his pair of collaborative albums with Metro BoominWe Don’t Trust You and We Still Don’t Trust You — which both topped the Billboard 200; the former album contained the blistering Kendrick Lamar-featuring Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 “Like That” track that ignited the biggest rap beef of the year between Lamar and Drake. The dynamic duo wrapped up their We Trust You Tour on Sept. 9 at Vancouver’s Rogers Arena. “Tour was successful thanks to all the fans..Grateful for every moment in every city’ WE TRUST YOU 2024,” he wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter) the day after the tour ended.

Mixtape Pluto is Future’s first solo project since 2022’s I Never Liked You album, which earned a 2023 Grammy nomination for best rap album and topped the Billboard 200 and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts. It’s also his first mixtape since 2018’s Future & Juice WRLD Present… WRLD ON DRUGS with the late Juice WRLD, and his first solo tape since 2016’s Purple Reign.

Ludacris Exits Rock the Country Lineup Following Fan Backlash

The rapper was originally announced as part of the lineup earlier this month.

Ludacris has spent years “Pimpin’ All Over The World,” but he won’t be doing so on the Rock the Country tour this summer.

On Friday (Jan. 16), Rolling Stone reported that the Grammy-winning rapper’s name had been removed from the lineup announcement poster. According to the magazine, the “My Chick Bad” MC “wasn’t supposed to be on” the lineup in the first place. Representatives for the traveling festival confirmed the news, directing Billboard to Ludacris’ team “for any additional comments.”
