Tracks like “Tony Montana” and “Same Damn Time” weaponized his distinctive, Auto-Tune-laced slur—a vocal delivery that critics initially derided as unintelligible but fans recognized as a new kind of emotional syntax. The music wasn’t just heard; it was felt as a vibe, a narcotic fog where the lines between ecstasy and despair dissolved.

He claimed he was from Pluto. And for the 40 minutes of this mixtape, he took us all there with him.

Released on , Mixtape Pluto serves as Future's seventeenth mixtape and his third full-length release of the year.
