Released in February 2017 as part of 'HNDRXX', 'My Collection' finds Future navigating the tangled arithmetic of fame, paranoia and intimacy. The track opens with a spoken invitation to paradise, or Pluto, before settling into a catalogue of expensive gestures and emotional distance. Future recounts leaving designer shoes at a condo, eighty thousand dollars in a dresser, ensuring his child's mother drives a fully loaded Range Rover, all whilst acknowledging the precariousness of success and the weight of surveillance.
The production, handled by Metro Boomin, lets chains clink audibly in the mix as Future toggles between defiance and confession. He describes a woman who claims angelic status but keeps rappers and athletes on speed dial, then frames his own romantic encounters as acquisitions. The chorus makes the transactional logic explicit: any connection, however brief, becomes part of a permanent collection. The song runs just over four minutes, its mood oscillating between bravado and something closer to admission, the codeine habits and legal troubles sketched in without apology or resolution.
"My Collection" is a track by Future, from the album HNDRXX, released 24th February 2017. 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.
