Tickets. Dates. What’s the story?Explore the tour About This Track
'MJ' finds Future in a mode of boastful excess, the track built around a repeating hook that collapses into a single refrain. The song moves through scenarios of hedonism and possession, each verse escalating the stakes of its own logic. Future's delivery is matter-of-fact, letting the lyrics do the work of shock rather than leaning into performance. The track sits within the broader palette of Mixtape Pluto, an album that saw all 17 of its songs debut on the Hot 100 chart simultaneously. 'MJ' charted at number 68 on that same chart, one entry among a remarkable commercial sweep.
"MJ" is a track by Future, from the album MIXTAPE PLUTO, released 20th September 2024. 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.
