On December 25, 2015, The Weeknd released a collaborative song with Future, titled "Low Life" on SoundCloud. It was produced by Metro Boomin and Ben Billions, while it co-produced by The Weeknd. The song was later revealed to be included on EVOL, as the penultimate track.

On February 1, 2016, DJ Khaled announced that he would be premiering Future's fourth album on the debut show of We The Best Radio on Apple Music. Future then announced the album title, release date and artwork, as well as individually tweeting the tracklist.

Evol (Sonic Youth album)

EVOL is the third studio album by American alternative rock band Sonic Youth. It was released in May 1986 by SST Records, the band's first release on the label. The noise rock album is notable for being the first with new drummer Steve Shelley, replacing Bob Bert, and for showing signs of the band's transition from their no wave past toward a greater pop sensibility.

Despite not being successful at the time, the album received great retrospective praise; Pitchfork said that EVOL "[was] where the seeds of greatness were sown", and placed the album 31st on their Top 100 Albums of the 1980s list, alongside Sonic Youth's next two albums, Sister and Daydream Nation, which ranked 14th and first, respectively.

Background and recording

In June 1985, during the Bad Moon Rising tour, previous drummer Bert left the band and was replaced by Shelley. The new lineup quickly began working on new material for their third album. The band signed to SST, as by 1986, label founder Greg Ginn was anxious for the label to move away from its American hardcore roots. Sonic Youth took a break from the tour and finished the writing for EVOL. In March 1986, the band recorded the album at BC Studio with New York recording icon Martin Bisi.EVOL marked the second time that the band had worked with New York singer and performance artist Lydia Lunch. Lunch had shared vocal duties on Bad Moon Rising's "Death Valley '69", and on this record, she co-wrote the song "Marilyn Moore".
