Future Is The True Night King In Snowy 'Crushed Up' Performance

Future's seventh genuine album, The Wizrd, is out now, and it's notable for a number of reasons. One, it completes his record-contract requirements with Epic, freeing him up for other pursuits, musical or otherwise. (He told Rolling Stone that his next dream is to open a clothing store: "I wake up, go to my store daily. People come in and shop and I help put they outfits with each other — and yes it cost me nothing. They don't pay me to do it. It's just a passion of mine.")


The other reason The Wizrd should be on your radar is that it's a further refinement of the rapper's patented icy trap sound. To personify this, he stopped by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to perform the album cut "Crushed Up" in a literal blizzard. That snow might be added in post, however it looks convincing anyway.


The stage setup here's pretty skeletal: You've got Future himself in his trademark sunglasses along with a shredding guitar player next to him, as a fake fog creeps around them and digital snow punctuates the mood. He's like Game of Thrones's Night King except in a very expensive jacket. It's chilly as hell!


The Wizrd boasts visitors like Young Thug, Gunna, and Travis Scott, who also pops up on the new release by James Blake, out today. Check out Future's snowy Colbert efficiency above, and stream The Wizrd below.
