Drake and Future, two of the biggest names in hip-hop came together for a collaborative mixtape. On Sunday, September 20th, Drake unveiled What a Time to Be Alive on his OVO Sound radio show on Beats 1.

The highly anticipated project took over the internet for the past couple of weeks. On Saturday, Drake revealed that he and Future would partner up by posting What a Time to Be Alive‘s diamond covered artwork on Instagram.

“It’s a little soundtrack for people that need it right now,” Drake stated about the collab.

With the exception of a couple of songs, Future, freshly coming off a #1 album (DS2), really sets the tone on this tape, which leaves Drake to sit back and fire multiple disses toward Meek Mill, whom he hasn’t forgotten about.

In “Live From the Gutter,” Drake and Future go in on their real world struggles and how they’ve gotten to where they are. Future starts off on the tough childhood he faced, growing up in the streets of Atlanta. Drake, known for “Started From the Bottom,” talks about the stress and surroundings of his superstar lifestyle.

“Diamonds Dancing,” the fourth track from the album, was named Pitchfork’s Best New Track. Drake and Future going back and forth with their verses made this song stand out more than any other.

Perhaps the biggest banger on the tape, “Jumpman,” is inspired by Drake’s recent collaborations with Jordan brand. Drake even raps, “Jumpman, Jumpman, they gave me my own collection.”

Drake’s year is still far from over, his fourth studio album, Views From the 6, is expected to be released later this year. If the album does release, it would be his third project in 2015 alone.

The production of this project was a major factor, Metro Boomin does an amazing job and was credited for a large chunk of the album.

Overall, the two hottest MC’s in the game came together to make an amazing tape, with great beats and production. Rating: 9/10
