Kicking off 2019 with a big and bold bang, Atlanta hip-hop superstar and multiplatinum trailblazer Future has returned with a brand new single and music video entitled ‘Crushed Up’. Listen now via Epic Records, Freebandz Entertainment and Sony Music Entertainment Australia.
Propelled by nimble wordplay, slick bars, and a woozy chant, ‘Crushed Up’ shines over glimmering keys and icy 808s. While evoking strains of his signature style, it also sees the pioneering trendsetter level up with another quotable hook —“Diamonds in your face, crushed up, I can see ‘em”— bound to be a lexicon-worthy catchphrase for 2019. Additionally, the cinematic video places him in a snowbound dreamscape trapped by wintry vixens inside of a gothic mansion. Beginning with a young Future peering into a snow globe, the setting flips from a trap house to wild wonderland. At times chilling and transfixing, the visual captures the track’s outsized ambition with otherworldly exposition and psychedelic energy.

‘Crushed Up’ is just the beginning though. It heralds the arrival of his seventh full-length album, dropping on January 18. This marks his first new solo album since the historic success of the 2017 albums FUTURE and HNDRXX and the multiplatinum banger ‘Mask Off’ building on this incredible foundation and momentum to go even bigger in 2019.
