“I’ve been going to the studio every day for the last five years,” Future tells MTV News’s Meaghan Garvey in our brand-new August 2016 cover story, “Future’s Reign.” The Atlanta rap king’s hyper-prolific output — including three studio albums and five mixtapes just since 2014 — tells you he’s not lying. Garvey put together a semi-chronological playlist of her favorite Future album and mixtape cuts to accompany her in-depth profile, including noteworthy guest spots like Rihanna’s “Loveeeeeee Song” and collaborations with close partners like DJ Esco’s “Maison Margiela.”
