American rappers Drake and Future have released a surprise 11-track mixtape titled What a Time To Be Alive. The release premiered on Drake’s OVO Sound show on Apple’s Beats 1 radio on Sunday and is now available exclusively on iTunes and Apple Music. According to Drake, the songs were recorded with Future over the space of just six days.
After a week of teasing, Drake and Future finally released their collaborative mixtape called ‘What A Time To Be Alive’.
Drizzy confirmed the project on Saturday via his Instagram account, posting a picture of some diamond-encrusted cover art along with a release date.
“It’s a little soundtrack for people that need it right now,” Drake said of the album. “I went to Atlanta for six days a couple of weeks ago with the hopes of doing some songs with Future, and when you get around Future, it’s like a vortex, that guy can outwork anybody right now. It’s tough to see someone do four, five songs in one night and not try to match it.”
Drake uploaded the album’s cover art to Instagram on Friday, following this up on Sunday with a full tracklist and a handful of celebratory memes and pictures. See the tracklist and album art below:
