Future fans are about to feast, as the Atlanta native has officially announced the release date for his new project, Mixtape Pluto.
Taking to Instagram on Wednesday (September 11), Future shared the tape’s cover art – which features the Dungeon Family house with glowing lights the color of purple drank — and revealed that Mixtape Pluto arrives next Friday (September 20).
Future came into Hip Hop as a second generation member of the Dungeon Family, the legendary ATL rap crew. His cousin is the late producer Rico Wade.
Wade’s mother lived at the house pictured on Mixtape Pluto‘s cover, and groups like OutKast and Goodie Mob recorded some of their earliest work in a studio (dubbed “The Dungeon”) in its basement.
“F*** the publicity I got this out the mud,” Future captioned his backwards-looking Instagram post that revealed the cover.
He also shared a teaser for “Too Fast” from the project, after previously teasing a Travis Scott collab that’s set to appear as well.
Merch for Mixtape Pluto is now available for pre-order, which includes bundles with limited edition t-shirts, a CD and two vinyl variants in both black and green.
Future has been teasing Mixtape Pluto for a while now, and recently got fans excited that Pharrell was involved in the project.
The duo posed for a picture that was posted online by Skateboard P’s longtime collaborator Mick the Ruler last month, along with the caption: “Neptune Pluto.”
The “March Madness” hitmaker previously offered a promising update in May, writing on social media: “I can’t sleep until it’s complete #MIXTAPEPLUTO.”
It was originally presumed that the mixtape would drop on May 10, but that date came and went without any music.
When teasing the May 10 release date, Pluto took a shot at an unnamed rival by tweeting: “Fuck yo album Shit ain’t slappin like my MIXTAPE.”
The post interpreted by many as a shot at Gunna, whose One of Wun album was already scheduled to arrive on May 10.

However, Future’s tweet was later revealed to merely be a promo for his “Swear to God” collaboration with Tee Grizzley, which contains the lyrics: “Fuck your album, shit ain’t slappin’ like my mixtape.”
Mixtape Pluto will mark the trap titan’s third full-length offering of 2024 following his two successful joint albums with Metro Boomin, We Don’t Trust You and We Still Don’t Trust You.
Both albums debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, with the former racking up over 250,000 first-week sales, making it one of the highest-selling rap albums out the gate this year so far.
