As a cousin of Dungeon Family producer Rico Wade, Future is part of Atlanta's rap royalty. And he has carried on the legacy of Outkast and Goodie Mob, creatively blurring lines between rapping and singing like André 3000 and CeeLo. Future's brooding trap ballads strike a chord by combining the grit of his mentors Gucci Mane and Rocko with the Auto-Tune experiments of Kanye West's 808s & Heartbreak.
