Future began his career under the name "Meathead", as a member of the Georgia-based musical collectiveDungeon Family.He was led to join the group by his first cousinRico Wade(1972–2024), who was part of the group's in-house production teamOrganized Noizeand operated theEast Point, Georgia"Dungeon" studio which the collective's name was based from.[19][20][21][22]Future performed in a smaller hip hop group within the collective who went by the name "Da Connect", where he would later be nicknamed "The Future" by group memberG-Rock.Da Connect recorded one album,Rico Wade Presents: Da Connectwhich was slated for commercial release in 2003, but was ultimately shelved.[23]Future had one solo record on the project titled "Belly of da Beast", which is considered to be his first song.[24][25]He notably did not use autotune in his early career with Da Connect compared to later in his career. During this time, Future appeared in numerous Dungeon Familymusic videos,[26]and received his first songwriting credit on the Organized Noize-produced single, "Blueberry Yum Yum"for rapperLudacrisin 2004.

Wade encouraged him to sharpen his writing skills and pursue a career as a rapper, as recording would create temporary respite from street life.[27]Future voices his praise of Wade's musical influence and instruction, calling him the "mastermind" behind his sound.[17]He was thereafter discovered by fellow Atlanta rapperRocko,who took Future under his wing as a solo artist on hisA1 Recordingsrecord label.[28]

Future signed a major labelrecording contractwithEpic Recordsin September 2011, days before the release of his next mixtape,Streetz Calling.[35]The mixtape was described byXXLmagazine as ranging from "simple and soundly executed boasts" to "futuristic drinking and drugging jams" to "tales of the grind".[34]APitchforkreview remarked that on the mixtape Future comes "as close as anyone to perfecting this thread of ringtone pop, where singing and rapping are practically the same thing, and conversing 100% throughAuto-Tunedoesn't mean you still can't talk about how you used to sell drugs. It would almost feel antiquated if Future weren't amassing hits, or if he weren't bringing some subtle new dimensions to the micro-genre. "[30]

Musical style

Future's music has been characterized astrap music.[10][84]Future makes prevalent use ofAuto-Tunein his songs, both rapping and singing with the effect. In 2013,Pitchforkwrote that Future "miraculously shows that it's still possible for Auto-Tune to be an interesting artistic tool", stating that he "finds a multitude of ways for the software to accentuate and color emotion".[85]TheLA Timeswrote in 2016 that "Future's highly processed vocals suggest a man driven to bleary desperation by drugs or love or technology", stating that his music "comes closest to conjuring the numbing overstimulation of our time".[86]GQstated in 2014 that he "has managed to reboot the tired auto-tune sound and mash it into something entirely new", writing that he "combines it with a bizarro croon to synthesize how he feels, then [...] stretches and deteriorates his words until they're less like words, more like raw energy and reactive emotions".[87]CriticSimon Reynoldswrote in 2018 that "he's reinventedbluesfor the 21st century. "[88]

American singer and rapperT-Pain,who also uses that audio processor, criticized Future's unconventional use of it in 2014.[89]In response, Future stated in an interview that "when I first used Auto-Tune, I never used it to sing. I wasn't using it the way T-Pain was. I used it to rap because it makes my voice sound grittier. Now everybody wants to rap in Auto-Tune. Future's not everybody."[90]

Due to the sustained contemporary popularity of his musical style, he is commonly regarded as one of the most influential rappers of his generation.[12]

Personal life

Future is the unmarried father of seven children by his account, each with different women, although another child's paternity has been litigated.[91][92]He has also adopted the son of one of the mothers of his daughter. In October 2013, Future was engaged toCiara,who is the mother of one of his sons, but she ended the engagement in August 2014 due to his infidelity.[93]

In 2016, Future was sued by both Jessica Smith and Ciara. Smith sued him for failing to paychild support,stating their son "suffers from emotional and behavioral issues stemming from Future's neglect as a father",[94]while Ciara sued him fordefamation,slander,andlibel.[95]In October 2016, a judge said that Future's string oftweetsbashing Ciara did not relate to the $15 million she was asking for.[96]In 2019, two women from Florida and Texas respectively filed paternity suits claiming that Future was the father of their respective daughter and son.[97]In 2020, the Texas woman dropped her paternity suit.[98]
