Future

**Nayvadius DeMun Wilburn** (born November 20, 1983), known by the stage name **Future**, is an American rapper from Atlanta.

After releasing a number of mixtapes, Future signed to Epic Records and A1 Records, eventually starting his own label Freebandz. He then released his debut album *Pluto* in 2012. He has since released *Honest* (2014), *DS2* (2015), *EVOL* (2016), *Future* (2017) and *Hndrxx* (2017). With his latest two albums, Future became the first artist since 1968 to debut two albums in consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard 200.

## Career

Future started his career as a member of the Atlanta collective The Dungeon Family, where he earned his stage name. He soon signed to A1 Records and released a series of mixtapes over 2010/11 titled *1000, Dirty Sprite* and *True Story.* He also collaborated with Gucci Mane for mixtape *Free Bricks.* In late-2011, Future signed a major deal with Epic Records and released two more mixtapes before his debut album. In 2012 Future was selected as a member of XXL's Freshmen Class. In April 2012, his debut album *Pluto* was released debuting at 8 on the Billboard 200. In April 2014, Future released his second album *Honest* which debuted at number 2.

In mid-2015, Future released his third album *DS2*, which was his first to debut atop the Billboard 200. In late-2015 he released a collaborative mixtape with Drake. In 2016 he released *EVOL* which again topped the charts. In early-2017, Future released his self-titled album *Future* and only one week later released *Hndrxx*, both albums topping the Billboard charts.
