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.

Toronto International Film Festival to Premiere New Documentary on Neil Peart of Rush in 2026

The recently announced film honouring the late Rush drummer will be receiving its world premiere on Sept. 16 along with several additional screenings, ahead of its release on CBC on Sept. 23. Plus, Heated Rivalry's Hudson Williams joins TIFF for its In Conversation With... series.

TIFF is celebrating a Canadian rock music legend. The Toronto International Film Festival has released its full programming, revealing that it will host the world premiere of the forthcoming documentary Neil Peart: No One's Disciple, which was announced by CBC last week. The 106-minute film gathers Peart's Rush bandmates Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson, plus other famed drummers like Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Chad Smith, The Police’s Stewart Copeland and Tool’s Danny Carey, all of whom honour the late musician's life, legacy, upbringing and illustrious career as part of one of the biggest Canadian bands of all-time.

"That Peart’s parts are so challenging even for such revered players says a lot about the ingenuity and dexterity he brought to Rush’s music," TIFF programmer Jason Anderson writes of the film. "The performances also become one of several means of commemorating a man who — as Dunn’s film reveals — was equally complex. The remembrances and anecdotes of the musicians and other intimates help fill out the portrait that Dunn creates via archival interviews and other footage."
