Future – Mixtape Pluto

Future has been releasing collaborative albums with Metro Boomin lately, but today he’s dropping something new. We don’t trust you And We still don’t trust you, ATLien delivers its latest project, Mixtape Pluto.

Longtime collaborator 808 Mafia’s Southside executive produced the project with Wheezy. It’s “a tribute to the Dungeon Family and the late Rico Wade,” according to a press release. “The cover features the original Dungeon Family home in Atlanta.”

Despite that inspiration, Pluto still delves into his signature subjects outside of homage. “You must’ve forgotten who had her before you had her; Future had her,” he raps on “Push the Button.” “Ain’t no need to go through the dates / My new b-tch is badder.”

To go along with the album, Future delivers the music video for “Too Fast.” Kid Art directed the clip, which features motorcycles popping wheelies, luxury rides and New York City shopping sprees. The speedy video is above, and the project is below.

Lil Tecca — Plan A

Lil Tecca sticks to his first and only option. That’s the basis of his latest album, Plan A. After 2023 TEC and last year’s deluxe edition, the “Ransom” hitmaker delivers a new 18-track project.

Don Toliver is the only guest on the album, appearing on “I Can’t Let Go.” Otherwise, Tecca handles the project on his own with vocals. Meanwhile, Taz Taylor, Rio Leyva, Nash and Census are among the LP’s producers.

Tecca says the album title is personal. “I think it sums up where I was in my life when I was 14 and I decided I wanted to rap and I just wanted to rap,” he recently told Billboard. “There were people in class who said I should have a backup plan. I was like, ‘Not really, bro. I don’t have a backup plan.'”

But he also says the album has a universal quality that could apply to others who look up to him: “Besides being about me, the message is: Decide what you want to do and do it.”

GloRilla — “Hollon”

GloRilla is on fire. Her Ehhthan Ehhthang mixtape spawned hits like “Yeah Glo!” and “Wanna Be” with Megan Thee Stallion. Then she released “TGIF” in the heat of summer. Now she’s gearing up for her album Glorious with his first official single, “Hollon.”

FNZ, SkipOnDaBeat and DJ Montay produced this banger. “Do my dance on them folks / It gets tough, it goes down soon as I land on them folks,” she says with the intensity she’s known for. Then she adds an even more confident note in the second verse: “Hear the engine bruar, switch to sport / I got somewhere to be, lil’ baby, I’m important.”

Glo spoke to Shannon Sharpe earlier this year about her creative energy and explained her album mode zone. “My thought process is don’t think too hard,” she explained. “I told myself to stop thinking too hard. I was just trying to stretch. But all the time I was making myself big. So I was like, ‘I don’t have to be bigger than I am. People like me for who I am.’ So I was like, ‘OK. I don’t have to be bigger than I am. People like me for who I am.’

Now Glo is preparing to drop more music. “So grateful to share this with you guys,” she wrote on social media. Glorious must be submitted by October 11.

Lecrae — “Die for the Party”

When Kendrick Lamar released his recent self-titled track, he asked himself, “What would Lecrae do?” Fans dubbed the song “Watch the Party Die” because of the song’s chorus. Now, Lecrae is unleashing his response in the form of “Die for the Party.”

The veteran rhymer says he was initially conflicted about his release. “I was struggling with, ‘Should I write a verse?’ / The culture’s got enough power vultures out here trying to prove their worth,” he raps. “They need attention / They can’t imagine me not trying to make myself look bigger with this Kendrick mention.”

He soon reveals bits of his backstory. “My daddy ran with the Compton Crips, my uncle’s Piru / Stuck in the middle of this madness, what am I supposed to choose? / I’d have to choose between Howard and Hampton / I love the people I ran with, but look at the damage.”

Finally, he shares some religious symbolism. “I walk through valleys of evil, I’m aware / I can’t condemn the world and burn all the heretics / Love is patient, so I trust the story / And Christ didn’t watch the party die, He died instead of the party.”
