Future Drops New Mixtape Beastmode 2

Future has dropped his new Beastmode 2mixtape, following 2015’s Beast Mode. The project credits executive producers Zaytoven and Seth Firkins, who was Future’s in-house sound engineer before he died last September. 

When Future released the mixtape earlier today (July 6), fans immediately suggested that he'd chosen that date because it coincided with the two-year wedding anniversary of his baby's mother, Ciara, and Seattle Seahawks quarterback, Russell Wilson. Now, it's being reported that that isn't the case.

According to the folks at TMZ, Hendrix actually switched BeastMode 2's original release date from July 4 to July 6 because he felt the first date was too close to the day Drake dropped his platinum-selling Scorpion album.

Their sources, who they say are close to the rapper, claim the Atlanta rapper did this so he didn't take away any of the buzz from Drizzy, who he once dropped a mixtape with in 2015 (What a Time to be Alive). They also say that Future doesn't follow Ciara's marriage to Wilson and note that he wasn't even aware that July 6 was the married couple's anniversary.
