Future - Deeper Than The Ocean (Preview) (Freebandz/Epic, 2012)

SPANISH GUITARS! This may very well be Future’s best cut yet, from the video alone. Astronaut Status drops on Thursday! SKRRRRRRRRRRT

B.o.B (feat. Future & Trae) - How Bout Dat (Mixtape, 2011)

Bob released his most recent offering, EPIC (Every Play Is Crucial) *sighs* today, and it’s got a few surprises on it. Aside from featuring Playboy Tre on two tracks instead of his obligatory single guest features (Bob’s treating Tre like he still matters in Bob’s world, so that’s commendable. T.I. should take notes pertaining to Dro), 2 Chainz and Future pop up. 2 Chainz isn’t too shocking, but I really didn’t think Future was in Bob’s linear world of rap. Either he discovered him on the radio when he was visiting his family in Atlanta for Thanksgiving, or Bob’s an even bigger Dungeon Family nerd than I knew. Or maybe he just refers to him as that “Tony Montana guy.” I dunno, I just don’t like these worlds crossing (especially since FUSCHIA is making pop-rap that Bob only wishes he could make).

Regardless, aside from Bob being his boring self and Trae whispering, Future does carry this track to some solid ground with a strong hook (that’s pretty trappy for Bobby Ray, odd considering Future’s experience at crafting those lovey-dovey hooks Bob gives Bruno Mars cocaine money for) and a verse about his favorite beverage. From what I’ve heard of the Bobby Ray tape, it’s not terrible if you like that stuff. You really shouldn’t be here if you like that stuff though. 

Future - Gone To The Moon (Free Bandz, 2011)

Future dresses up like an askranawt and goes to space camp for his latest video off Streetz Callin’. Pluto is scheduled to drop on 1/31/12, but it probably won’t.
