UNC Basketball: Future in the Present

In February of 2017, which is (unbelievably) four years ago now, Future released a song that took the world by storm. A hushed flute sample floats over a bass line that bobs as if to coach the listener to follow suit. The edited version of this song could be heard on radios and at sporting events nationwide, floating through open car windows and rattling bleachers from coast to coast. The song stayed hit #5 on the Billboard Hot 100, and has been certified seven times platinum by the RIAA.

I graduated from college in 2016, but I’d imagine that had I still been in school when this song was released, it would have made the shortlist of songs to throw on when a party was lacking energy.
