The Wizrd

[1] Produced by Mass Appeal, the hour-long film follows Future on the 2016 Purple Reign tour and offers a look into his personal life and creative process.

[3] In the days leading up to the album's release, Future posted snippets of selected tracks through videos on social media.

[4] In an interview with Genius, Future revealed that the album and its title is dedicated to a late uncle of his who gave him the nickname, "Wizard".

[6] "First Off" featuring American rapper Travis Scott, was sent to rhythmic and urban contemporary radio on February 12, 2019, as the album's third official single.

[8] XXL gave the album a positive review stating, "The lean guest list of trap all-stars Young Thug, Gunna and Travis Scott delivers solid if unspectacular support down the home stretch.

[12] Rolling Stone's Charles Holmes wrote, "The Wizrd is the last album in Future's current major-label deal, and it's effective at reinforcing the qualities that turned him into a star, as well as outlining his rags-to-riches story one more time for those who weren't paying attention".

[18] Pitchfork critic Jayson Greene said, "The production is muted, minor-key, and consistently beautiful, conjuring the familiar Future Moods: rain-streaked neon signs, drug-induced stupors inside of clubs at 3 a.m.

[17] In a mixed review, Clash's Malvika Padin wrote, "The world of hip-hop and rap is changing and, while Future's pattern works well, it becomes slightly repetitive with every listen".

In an era where rap and hip-hop's sound is changing, rapidly, with introspective and socially conscious flows the norm even in the mainstream, Future seems to be mired in the past".
