Early Life and Career Beginnings

Between 2010 and 2011, Future released a series of mixtapes, including "1000," "Dirty Sprite," and "True Story". His regional popularity grew after DJ Esco played his songs at the Magic City strip club in Atlanta. In 2011, he signed a major-label deal with Epic Records and Rocko's A1 Recordings.

A string of successful releases followed, including the mixtapes "Monster" (2014), "Beast Mode" (2015), and "56 Nights" (2015). His third studio album, "DS2" (2015), and the collaborative mixtape with Drake, "What a Time to Be Alive" (2015), both debuted at number one on the Billboard 200.

In 2017, Future made history by becoming the first artist to have two albums, "Future" and "Hndrxx," debut at number one in consecutive weeks on the Billboard 200. He has continued to release a prolific amount of music, including studio albums and collaborative projects with artists like Young Thug, Juice Wrld, and Lil Uzi Vert. In 2021, he earned his first number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100 with a guest appearance on Drake's "Way 2 Sexy". His 2022 album, "I Never Liked You," featured his first number-one single as a lead artist, "Wait for U," which also won a Grammy Award.
