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
'Now' arrives as a statement of immediate material excess. Future announces his jewellery, his weapons, his women, his cars with the flat confidence of someone for whom acquisition has become reflex. The production, credited to 808 Mafia, sits low and heavy beneath him, all bass and space. The song moves between boasts and threats with little distinction. Future cycles through the same postures across the verse: sexual conquest, financial display, violence as a casual solution to disrespect. He nods off on lean, guts his house with pistols, buys chains he claims not to care about. The refrain circles back to a single idea: he has moved past whatever the rest of the world is still doing. It is the sound of someone talking to himself as much as to anyone listening, the repetition less persuasion than compulsion.
"Now" is a track by Future, from the album 56 Nights , released 21st March 2015. 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.
