About This Track
Future and Lil Uzi Vert trade verses over a trap beat that moves with the weight of their combined presence. The track settles into a hypnotic groove, the two voices layering calls and responses across a chorus built from repetition and swagger. Both rappers occupy the same register of material excess and street credibility, moving between boasts about luxury goods, firearms, and sexual conquest with the ease of men for whom such talk is currency. The production holds firm beneath them, letting the vocals dominate. Future's delivery carries the gravel of someone who has lived the narratives he describes; Lil Uzi Vert matches him with sharper inflection, his voice cutting through the mix. Neither overshadows the other. The song moves as collaboration rather than feature, each artist given space to establish his own rhythm before the chorus pulls them back into unison.
"Plastic" is a track by Future, from the album Pluto x Baby Pluto, released 13th November 2020. 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.
