Atlanta rapper Future, Young Thug and Wiz Khalifa should have no problem landing on the sales chart with impressive first-week sales for their respective solo albums.
Based on early estimates, Future’s new EVOL album could sell up to 150,000 copies.
A few days ago, music mogul L.A. Reid spoke on his respect for Future’s talent.
“I think I might have said that you need a lyric sheet. But it’s a feeling. That’s soul music, what Future is doing. That’s soul music. It’s a different version of it but that’s soul music. That’s not traditional rap. Right? And that’s what you’re saying? But then that would be judging him by a bar. You have to judge artists by who they are.” (“The Breakfast Club”)
Last week, Future announced a new deal with tech giant Apple Music.
Miami producer DJ Khaled released a few promotional clips alongside Future on his Instagram page last Tuesday (February 2) night about new music arriving.
