Tickets. Dates. What’s the story?Explore the tour About This Track
Future and Young Thug trade verses over production credited to Murda Beatz, constructing a portrait of excess that moves between boasts about jewellery, vehicles and pharmaceutical consumption. The track names its centrepiece early: an all-red Bentley truck becomes shorthand for a life of conspicuous spending, one where watches are urinated on and diamond chains multiply without restraint. The song's pleasures are largely textural. Future's flow settles into a rhythmic chant, each line stacking another detail of wealth or intoxication; Young Thug's verse splinters into sharper angles, his delivery more fractured and unpredictable. Neither voice dwells on consequence or reflection. Instead, the track operates as pure enumeration, a catalogue of excess rendered in slang and reference, where a Hublot watch or a Therapedic mattress with new tags become equivalent markers of arrival. The production sits back and lets the voices dominate, which is precisely where they belong.
"Red Bentley" is a track by Future, from the album Future & Juice WRLD Present… WRLD ON DRUGS, released 19th October 2018. 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.
