Future has his eyes set on a hit album and announced his mammoth 22-track project The Real Me a while ago, although fans kept wondering what the cover art and full tracklist will be like. The wait has finally ended after the artist took to Instagram to reveal the cover & tracklist all in one go.
The album art features a shirtless Future against a black backdrop and blonde hair, whereas on the tracklist cover he can be seen lying down on what seems to be a blue sofa, with a list of songs on the left. The artist has revealed some, but is hesitant to bare it all, and asked fans who they think is featured on his album.

This is an especially tricky question, as Future was the only rapper who worked with each of ‘the big three’ during the Kendrick-Drake-J. Cole debacle.
Most recently on Iceman, the rapper seemed to squash his beef with Drake, collaborating on the hit ‘Ran To Atlanta’ song, which itself is a reference to Kendrick’s claim that Drake only runs to Atlanta for street cred and to ride the wave when he needs a “cheque balanced.”
On his lead single ‘Radio’ for this upcoming album, the artist also seemed to insinuate that he’s at the top and doesn’t look to be in the conversation; that the music and the numbers speak volumes, that he’s too big for radio. The artist is certainly as cocky as rappers claiming the top, although a bit more nonchalant. Question is, how will this rub his peers off? Hopefully not the wrong way.
So, who do you think really made the cut for his own project?
