The Confirmation
In April 2019, Future went online with footage of himself alongside Drizzy and appeared to confirmed a much-needed follow-up album. Despite the teaser, they never officially put out a sequel.
Weeks prior, buzz developed about Drake and Future low-key piecing together a new album.
For those of you remember, Future was rumored to drop HNDRXX 2 as a surprise release; but scrapped it last second to not affect with the release of Gunna’s Drip or Drown 2 project. Well according to those same sources, Future and Drake have already completed a sequel to 2015’s What a Time to be Alive. The effort is said to be entirely new music and is not leftovers from their recording sessions over the last few years. It’s unclear when the two found time to lock in some studio time together; but we’re assuming Drake may be the deciding factor if it comes out or not. (OnSmash)
