High Off Life is the eighth studio album by American rapper Future, released on May 15, 2020, by Freebandz and Epic Records.
[3] The album's first single, "100 Shooters" featuring American rappers Meek Mill and Doe Boy, was released on July 12, 2019.
[7][8] The album's third single, "Life Is Good" featuring Canadian rapper Drake, was released on January 10, 2020, as well an accompanying music video.
[11] "Trillionaire" featuring American rapper YoungBoy Never Broke Again, was sent to rhythmic contemporary radio on May 26, 2020, as the album's fifth single.
[11] The remix of "Life Is Good" featuring Drake and American rappers DaBaby and Lil Baby, was released on February 15, 2020, as the album's first promotional single.
[26] Jayasuriya Mehan from Pitchfork enjoyed the album, saying, "Except for the previously released singles that pad the end of the record in keeping with industry norms, High Off Life is better-paced and sequenced than most of Future's recent releases—the whole thing seems to glide by frictionlessly".
But it's still got the spaced-out melancholy that always fills his sound, as he clocks some serious demon hours in the late-night druggy strip-club haze of his soul".
said, "Pretty much the only complaint is that, similar to all of his releases since the infamous Evol, it delivers and lives up to the hype, but it doesn't build and surpass his previous work.
[24] NME's Luke Morgan Britton wrote in a lukewarm review of High Off Life that "[the] trap outlier exerts flashes of greatness... but doesn't quite fulfil his sales pitch", adding: "Future described his last album, 2019's The Wizrd, as the closing of a chapter, meaning that High Off Life seemed primed to signal a fresh start.
Despite its glimpses of greatness, though, this album revisits too many of the rapper's trademark themes to truly make good on his jubilant pre-release promises.
"[27] In a mixed review, Beats Per Minute's Chase McMullen stated: "For the man who elevated devastated depravity into his own art form, it can't help but feel a bit disappointing to watch him continue to coast.
