The 13th mixtape from Atlanta trapper-turned-rapper Future, Monster is the first project in a three-part series following the release of 2014 album Honest. Executive-produced by trap prodigy Metro Boomin, the project delves into all aspects of the genre, from the frantic hedonism of "After That" to the pain-drenched crooning of "Hardly." Capped off with the deeply personal "Codeine Crazy," the project marks a newfound vulnerability for the Atlanta star, while retaining the booming trap sonics that made mixtapes like Astronaut Status and Dirty Sprite so compelling. ~ David Crone
