ThrowBLKs: Future's "Monster" Retrospective

A present for the BlkPrint faithful: our return to ThrowBLKs with the greatest Future mixtape ever, Monster! 🎁

Picking up where we left off with our deep dive into his sophomore album, Honest, we follow the Freebandz leader at a pivotal crossroads in his journey. Could his pop-driven success have led to overexposure? Was it time to strip everything back and reconnect with the raw, unfiltered sound that first made him a star? With Monster, Future not only answered these questions but also delivered one of the most influential mixtapes of the 2010s. In this ThrowBLKs special, we’re diving track by track into the timeless verses that shaped the project, unpacking the stories and emotions behind each record, and exploring how this mixtape set the stage for Future’s domination of hip-hop’s landscape.

Join us as we celebrate Monster’s legacy—from the haunting vulnerability of our favorite records to the gritty anthems and hilarious ad-libs and that still resonate today.
