Future to Make 'SNL' Debut in March, Jonah Hill Will Host

This year is already shaping up to be a great one for Future. The Atlanta rapper is slated to make his SNL debut in March and Jonah Hill will host.

While Future will take the stage as musical guest for the first time on the March 5, the show will serve as Hill’s fourth appearance. NBC shared the big news on Saturday (Feb. 13) via Twitter.

Earlier this month, Future released his surprise album EVOL, which followed his Purple Reign mixtape. Although details have been scarce, he also revealed a new deal with Apple Music.

Fans can only speculate which songs the “Where Ya At” rapper will perform during his stint on SNL. He is currently celebrating the success of his latest album, which has earned him his third No. 1 on the Billboard 200. According to Nielsen Music, EVOL launched with 134,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending Feb. 11. It is his third No. 1 album in less than seven months.

Last July, Future charted his first No. 1 album thanks to DS2. The album moved 131,500 actual albums, more than double what his sophomore album Honest sold during spring of 2014. The project easily took the title as Future's most successful album yet. DS2 was followed by What A Time to Be Alive, his joint album with Drake, which also topped the charts.

As noted by Billboard, Future’s trio of No. 1s, counting from each title’s first week at No. 1, is the fastest accumulation of No. 1s for any act since the Glee cast earned three No. 1 soundtracks in one month and 19 days in 2010.
