Future Releases '56 Nights' Mixtape Dedicated to DJ Esco's Jail Stint in Dubai [LISTEN]

Future is serving up more new music for fans with his latest mixtape 56 Nights, a release dedicated to DJ Esco's jail stint in Dubai.

Last year, Esco traveled to Dubai to perform with Future at the 2014 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, but the DJ's trip ended up lasting longer than others. He was arrested at the airport for marijuana possession and spent 56 days in prison. DJ Esco returned home Jan. 13.

He described his experience during an interview with Fader:

I'm like, Hold up. Eight weeks? You can't tell me nothing better than this?! I think I blacked out. My whole body went numb and I was just thinking my life is gonna be over. There's no way I can survive eight weeks in here, mentally. I cuss out both people from the U.S. embassy, and then I walked back devastated 'cause that's when it hit me -- I'm not getting out of here. Every night I was having dreams that I was doing something else, then I would wake up back in jail. Waking up used to be the worse.

Hosted by Future and Esco, Tarentino and Southside of 808 Mafia provided production for the tape. It includes the single "March Madness," which Future put out March 16.

Earlier this week, Future announced the release of Dirty Sprite 2, which will serve as a sequel to his 2011 mixtape.

In recent months, he has released his Metro Boomin-produced Monster tape and Beast Mode.

Future is also featured on the soundtrack for the movie Furious 7 on a track entitled "Payback" featuring Juicy J, Kevin Gates and Sage the Gemini. The soundtrack was released Tuesday, March 17.
