Many remember that the project was produced by Metro Boomin. Future is re-releasing the mixtape, in honor, of his friend and former engineer Seth Firkins who passed in 2017. This tape came equipped with classics like “Fuck Up Some Commas, Codeine Crazy, and My Savages.” Fans have a chance to re-order, the vintage “Monster” tee that originally dropped in 2016.

This is the first time Monster is available on all streaming platforms. You can stream the classic mixtape below and leave a comment with your favorite records.

Coming off his The Paradox EP, UK singer Jacob Banks gets creatively grimey in his new video “Monster.” Telling the story of a cold-hearted robbery, we see Banks performing in a parking garage surrounding by presumably dead bodies hanging out of a car trunk and chalk outlined on the ground. Filming the video in one take (and on the fly), the guerilla style visual proves to have been worth taking the risk to capture. According to Banks,  the video aligned with the song perfectly as it spoke more so to a shift in his life: “The song came about when I was going through a phase of understanding that sometimes you have to take what you want, and as much as I don’t like it, sometimes it’s my only option.”

Future’s #MONSTER Instagram posts finally mean something. The ATL hip-hop giant lit up twitter today with announcement of his forthcoming mixtape of the same name. The mixtape was announced on Instagram with a photo of the surprisingly professional looking album artwork, which interestingly resembles the controversial Yeezus tour merchandise.

Monster will be his 9th mixtape, and is scheduled to drop on October 28th. It will be executively produced by fellow Atlanta hip-hop icon, Metro Boomin’, the emerging producer responsible for ILOVEMAKKONEN and Drake’s summer anthem, “Club Going Up.”  He’s also responsible for other bangers by Gucci Mane, Young Thug and Travis Scott.

We already know that Metro Boomin’ and Future make a great pair, seeing as their collaboration resulted “I Won” and “Honest,” two of the most memorable track’s from Future’s recent studio album Honest. Also given the diversity in sentiment these two tracks alone, I don’t anticipate a monotonous, forgettable mixtape.
