Last month, Future released his highly sought after album DS2. The album was embraced by fans with open ears and approval from the #FutureHive. The Atlanta rapper recently took time out to break down songs from DS2, including the Drake-assisted "Where Ya At."
"It's about the music being on this all time high," Future said while explaining the title of his latest album. "You might not drink lean but when you listen to this music, it's got to make you feel high and that's what it's all about. You understand it. It's a culture. It's a lifestyle that comes behind it. It's an ultimate high with the music. The music being at it's all time high. Me being in the position that I'm in in my life, whereas the momentum is so great. I feel like my momentum is a high right now and to be able to capitalize off of that is like a metaphor."
In part one of Future's DS2 track-by-track commentary, he explains the first three tracks of the project: "Thought It Was A Drought," "I Serve The Base" and "Where Ya At" featuring Drake.
On "Thought It Was A Drought":"When I originally did the song, I laid the vocals a totally way and then when Metro got one producing it, he took a few of my vocals and he rearranged it. And that's how we came up with the title. I was saying it as a part of the song. So it was just like the intro to Dirty Sprite 2.
Even when I listen to it now, it sounds like the intro. It feels good."
On "I Serve the Base": "Originally, when I did the song, when Metro did it, I was like 'man, this one of those beats that separates you from being just a one hit wonder or just a solid producer.' I felt like that because it doesn't sound like a beat that his fans would expect from him and it's a great thing because it's still a dope ass beat. As soon as I heard it, I started rapping over the beat. I really just rapped over it from the beginning to the end like it was an intro and I started saying, 'I serve the base, I serve the base.' I put it in the song one time and the way we started arranging it, we were like we're going to make 'I serve the base' the standout part."
As far as "Where Ya At" featuring Drake, which happens to be the only song on the album with a guest spot, Future says the collaboration came together by chance. DJ Esco initially suggested that the two work together on the track.
Future charted his first No. 1 album thanks to DS2. His latest release moved 131,500 actual albums, more than double what Honest sold during spring of 2014. The project easily took the title as Future's most successful album yet.
Prior to the album's release, Future dropped three album-quality mixtapes in less than five months (Monster, Beast Mode and 56 Nights.) During a recent interview with the Breakfast Club, he mentioned he is looking to drop another project this year.
Back in April, producer Mike WiLL Made It revealed plans to release a collaborative mixtape titled Ape Sh*t with Future. On Twitter he shared the possible mixtape cover.
