This has been one hell of a year so far for Future and it's only three months in! The 32-year-old kicked off the year when he dropped Purple Reign in mid-January. Laced with thirteen tracks executive-produced by Metro Boomin and DJ Esco, the mixtape a hit overnight. In February, Future debuted his fourth studio album, EVOL, through DJ Khaled's Beats 1 radio show, We The Best. The album climbed to the top of the Billboard charts.
It didn't stop there. This past Saturday (March 5), Future visited Saturday Night Live for the first to perform his radio hit "Low Life," surprising the viewers with a surprise guest appearance from The Weeknd. He also showed off his comedic side by helping host Jonah Hill deliver a hilarious sing-a-long monologue.
