Mixtape Pluto is the seventeenth mixtape[a] by American rapper Future. It was released through Freebandz and Epic Records on September 20, 2024.[4] Production on the mixtape was primarily handled by Southside and Wheezy, with help from ATL Jacob, FnZ, Honorable C.N.O.T.E., London on da Track, and Neenyo, among others.[5] It serves as his third and final release of 2024, following his two collaborative albums with Metro Boomin, We Don't Trust You and We Still Don't Trust You.[2] The mixtape was supported by two singles, "Too Fast" and "South of France", the latter of which received a remix in collaboration with fellow American rapper and singer Travis Scott and was added to a reissued version.

Background

[edit]

On May 8, 2024, Future seemingly hinted towards the release of a mixtape to be released on May 10, which would actually turn out to be the release date from his then-upcoming feature on fellow American rapper Tee Grizzley's single, "Swear to God".[6][7] However, it would eventually turn out to be postponed. In July 2024, producer Southside revealed that he was working on the project and described the work as a "new sound, like a whole new vibe".[8] On September 2, four months after the project was first promised to be released, Future announced in a social media post that the mixtape was about to be released with a snippet of the song "Lil Demon" playing as he is seen in a recording studio.[9] The mixtape would also see preorders become available, along with the confirmation of its status as an album. To promote the release, a 30-second video trailer was shared the following week with another song playing in the background.[10] On September 6, fellow American rapper and singer Travis Scott teased the song "South of France", even though he is not featured on it. Future shared the artwork and release date alongside a snippet of a track titled "Too Fast" on September 11.[11] The track listing was revealed on September 17.[12]

According to the review aggregator Metacritic, Mixtape Pluto currently has a score of 73 out of 100 based on four critic reviews, indicating "generally favorable" reception. Robin Murray for Clash wrote that the mixtape is "beset with jewels", referring to "Surfing a Tsunami" and "Oath". However, he also stated that "it’s not perfect" and that there are "some moments that don’t hit as hard as others", highlighting "Plutoski" and "MJ". Murray concluded his review by writing that, "Mixtape Pluto offers ample evidence to [Future's] continuing singular form of genius".[14] HotNewHipHop's Elias Andrews wrote in a positive review, "Mixtape Pluto is the comeback that mid-2010s fans have been waiting for. The song titles are concise and hard-hitting, as the beats and lyrics."[18] Stereogum's Tom Breihan wrote in a positive review, "On first listen, none of Future's lyrics will fuel the gossip cycle. But this is a great example of Future sounding focused, even when he also sounds like he's high out of his mind".[3]

Commercial performance

[edit]

In the United States, Mixtape Pluto debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 with 129,000 album-equivalent units, which included 156.62 million on-demand streams and 10,000 pure album sales.[19] It marked Future's eleventh number-one album in the country and his third in the last six months.[19] The mixtape is also the second project with no features to debut atop the Billboard 200 in the 2020s decade, following YoungBoy Never Broke Again's Sincerely, Kentrell (2021).[19] It also marks Future's third No. 1 entry in 2024, making him the first rap artist to have three projects to debut atop of the Billboard 200 in the same year.[19]
