As Future picks up where he left off in 2016, AHS students are glad to see him continue the constant release of new music.

“I really like it because his songs get me very hyped,” senior Dini Mohamud said. “I loved Purple Reign top to bottom, one of his best mixtapes. I have listened to EVOL and it’s very good, my favorite songs are ‘Maybach’, ‘Xanny Family’ and ‘Lil’ Haiti Baby’.”

“I think it’s great that he never stops making music,” Poudel said, “because the songs in the albums EVOL and Purple Reign get me hyped and he also has the coolest DJ in the world.”
