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 Drake toast to excess and authenticity on 'Fo' Real', a celebration of newfound wealth and the lifestyle it affords. The track moves between Future's boastful declarations of rockstar living, complete with references to money, cars, and the company they attract, and Drake's assertion that his own rise has been earned rather than performed. The pair frame their success as genuine, a counterpoint to the surface-level glamour the song otherwise luxuriates in. The production sits comfortably in trap territory, with Future's hook anchoring the song around the repeated affirmation of its title. Drake's verse cuts through with a more measured delivery, his claims of authenticity playing against the hedonistic backdrop Future has established. It's a straightforward record about the rewards of making it, built on the chemistry between two artists at ease with one another.
"Fo' Real" is a track by Future, from the album F.B.G: The Movie, released 11th January 2013. Full lyrics are available below.

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.
