What Kendrick Lamar was answering on ‘Euphoria’, and why Drake’s AI 2Pac verse mattered

Tickets. Dates. What’s the story?Explore the tour About This Track
Future and EST Gee trade verses over a hypnotic loop on 'Chickens', a track built around the repeated refrain of its title. The song moves between boastful declarations of wealth and drug-trade vernacular, with Future cycling through images of luxury cars, money, and the street life. EST Gee arrives in the second verse with a sharper edge, his delivery cutting through the production with competitive precision. The track sits deep in trap convention, its appeal rooted in the interplay between the two voices and the relentless, almost meditative quality of its central hook. Future's flow stretches and contracts across Wheezy's beat, whilst EST Gee's contribution adds textural contrast. Neither artist reaches for novelty; the song's power lies in execution and the clarity of its narrative stance.
"CHICKENS" is a track by Future, from the album I NEVER LIKED YOU, released 29th April 2022. Full lyrics are available below.

A guide to the April 2024 exchange behind Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Euphoria’, from ‘Like That’ and J. Cole’s withdrawal to Drake’s ‘Taylor Made Freestyle’.

Rockstar has confirmed a dynamic score and an evolved in-game radio system for ‘Grand Theft Auto VI’, while keeping the mechanics under wraps.

The liquid-filled limited edition sold out in under an hour, with resale listings now reaching more than four times its £108.99 original price.

A 34-track soundtrack featuring Travis Scott, Yung Lean, Keith Richards and more will arrive alongside ‘Grand Theft Auto VI’ on 19th November.

A wave of GTA VI-styled social posts has prompted soundtrack speculation, but the publicly reported confirmation list is far shorter.

Spotify billboards using the same visual language as a wave of musician posts have prompted speculation about a 'GTA 6' campaign, though neither Spotify nor Rockstar has confirmed a partnership.
