Future talks about the recording process of “Thought It Was A Drought,” “I Serve The Base,” and “Where Ya At”.
Future’s DS2 is still playing just about everywhere, and as inescapable as the music itself has been, we haven’t heard all too much about how it was made. Thankfully, Future Hendrix has now provided some audio commentary for the project through VEVO. The first part of the feature only covers the first three tracks, but we’re already learning a lot.
On “Thought It Was A Drought”: Future said the song just felt like an introduction, and it still does. He said Metro Boomin’ and DJ Esco arranged the song and vocals once everything was recorded to make into an actually song, so shout out to them. Wouldn’t want an un-arranged song kicking off the album, would we???
“I Serve the Base”: Future described the production as a “dope sss beat.” He said “I serve the base” was said once in the song when he originally recorded, but after hearing it over the distorted production, they made it the mainstay of the song.
“Where Ya At” f. Drake: The album wasn’t supposed to have any features, but Future said that if it did, he wanted Drake on “Where Ya At.” Turns out, Drake called him asking if he turned the album in yet, wondering if he could drop bars somewhere on the album. Future gave in and sent him “Where Ya At,” then it turned into what it did.
Stay tuned for part two of the series, which will probably drop soon.
