Kodak Black And French Montana May Collab On Joint Album!

Kodak Black may have been in some trouble recently, however, the rapper may be collaborating with French Montana on a new album.

According to Hip Hop DX, on Tuesday, August 2nd, Kodak presented plans to drop a joint album with the “Keep It Real” rapper in the near future. Hyping up his work as “top rope,”  the two artists have proven to be a successful duo in recent years. Kodak Black and French Montana came together on tracks such as “Lockjaw,” and “Mopstick.” They also worked together on “Lifestyle” featuring Kevin Gates, along with DJ Khaled’s “Pick These H*es Apart.” In 2019, “Lockjaw” was certified double platinum and the video for “Mopstick” was co-signed by Drake following its release earlier this year.

In a 2020 interview with Big Boy, French described Kodak as one of the most unusual collaborative encounters. He stated Black hardly spoke to him on set of their “Lockjaw” video.

“Me and him didn’t have, like, one conversation when we shot the video,” I just looked at him and he growled at me. That’s my dawg, man. Shout out to Kodak. But you know, we was getting lit, we was drinking. He live that rock star life. He about that life.”

While we wait on the album, in June French Montana, secured his spot in the “rap album of the year” ring with Montega. The full-length collaboration that gained appearances from Rick Ross, Quavo, Jadakiss, Benny The Butcher, EST Gee and more. Back in. February, Kodak Black also scored his third top three album with Back For Everything. Not to mention, “Super Gremlin” went platinum-certified, and the Florida rapper also featured on some the year’s greatest rap albums such as Kendrick Lamar’s Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers, Gunna’s DS4Ever, and Future’s I NEVER LIKED YOU.

Future Debuts His New Album, ‘I Never Liked You,’ Featuring Kanye West and Drake

Future has released a new album titled I Never Liked You. Following up on 2020’s High Off Life, the album features guest appearances by Kanye West, Drake, Young Thug, Tems, EST Gee, Gunna, and Kodak Black. The new album is available below. Also available is the Rick Nyce-directed music video for Future’s West collaboration, “Keep It Burnin.”

I Never Liked You is Future’s ninth solo studio album. After the release of High Off Life, he and Lil Uzi Vert collaborated on Pluto x Baby Pluto. Also, he served as executive producer for Kanye West’s Donda 2, famously collaborated with Drake for the Certified Lover Boy song “Way 2 Sexy,” released the single “Worst Day,” made an appearance on Saturday Night Live with Gunna, and much more.

High Off Life

High Off Life provides a powerful soundtrack of tortured hedonism illustrated with painterly details. This is a production with beautiful details and a sad melody. It consists of exotic cars painted in candy-colored hues, casually worn designer sandals, women treated as disposables, and drugs sold and consumed.

It is possible to find songs that sparkle like suitcases of diamonds and suitable pieces as soundtracks to crime dramas. Furthermore, you should select songs that will sound great when distorted to the level of basslines blaring from passing cars. The High Off Life album is better-paced and structured than most of Future’s recent releases. Except for the previously released singles interspersed with the other tracks under industry norms, it glides smoothly.

During interviews, Future described his previous album, The Wizrd, as a defining moment of his career. This sets the stage for his forthcoming project. Unfortunately, High Off Life lacks this significant shift, although we gain a few new ideas from it.

Future Teases Listeners With Kanye West Feature

Future plans to heat the scene with the release of his new album “I Never Liked You” on Friday. The anticipation for the upcoming album is high since his 2020 collaboration with Lil Uzi Vert, “Pluto x Baby Pluto.” Fans are paying close attention as Future Hendrixx teases with a glimpse of Kanye West in new music. 

Cover Art

The 38-year-old rapper has released his album cover art which shows Future dressed head to head in a purple suit relaxing in the backseat with a matching sleep mask. The unbothered artist also revealed the album title “I Never Liked You” which compliments the cover art.

Future Ambitions

According to GQ magazine Future is “the best rapper alive.” Not all listeners adhere to the statement. However, he sustains great ambition. In addition to music, the Pluto artist expresses in a GQ interview what his future goals are when asked by DJ Khaled. 

“Billions. That’s how it’s looking,” Future continues. “Real Estate companies, publishing companies, just success all around whatever I put my mind to.”

Future took to his Instagram yesterday (April 26) to announce what appears to be him and billionaire Kanye West collaborating on upcoming music. In a short clip, viewers catch a few bars from the Ye. The relationship between the two rap stars dates back to 2011 Future explains he connected with Ye before the Yeezy shoes and they simply never disclosed their friendship. Still, with friends like Kanye West, Future is bound for genius success.

“Cross me so much, I got nails in my hand / City on fire, city on fire,” the 44-year-old raps in the teaser.

In addition to the album, Freebandz just today released the tracklist with sixteen tracks and features including Kanye West, Drake, Gunna, Yung Thug, EST GEE, and Kodak Black. The “I Never Liked You” album drops on April 29th on all platforms.
