{"product_id":"beast_mode","title":"Beast Mode","description":"\u003cp\u003eBeast Mode is a collaborative mixtape by Future and producer Zaytoven, released on January 15, 2015, and often treated as a key “album‑quality” project in Future’s catalog. It’s their first full‑length collaboration, recorded in an intense two‑to‑three‑day burst where they reportedly made dozens of songs after Future’s longtime DJ Esco was jailed in Dubai and lost a hard drive containing two years of music—forcing Future to start fresh. The final tape is tightly edited down to nine tracks, including “Oooooh” (with Young Scooter), “Lay Up,” “Aintchu” (with Juvenile), “No Basic,” “Peacoat,” “Just Like Bruddas,” “Where I Came From,” “Real Sisters,” and “Forever Eva,” and runs just under half an hour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMusically, Beast Mode showcases Zaytoven’s piano‑driven, church‑tinged trap production wrapped around Future’s melodic, emotionally charged delivery. The beats are built from intricate, twinkling keys and lush synths that give songs like “Lay Up,” “Peacoat,” and “Real Sisters” a luxurious feel, while “No Basic” and “Just Like Bruddas” dig into the tension between flashy player anthems and the lingering pain beneath the surface. Lyrically, Future leans into themes of heartbreak, success, drugs, and loyalty, channeling the anguish from Monster into a cooler but still wounded mode—summed up in lines from “No Basic” where he talks about taking pain and running with it. Together, Future and Zaytoven create a focused, cohesive project that helped define the mid‑2010s “Future Hive” era, showing how his voice and vices could be framed as almost symphonic trap‑soul over Zaytoven’s elegant, baroque production.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Record Store","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl \/ Album","offer_id":53675541102906,"sku":"38883","price":30.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/2041\/0682\/files\/Screenshot_2026-07-02_at_9.21.55_PM.jpeg?v=1783041812","url":"https:\/\/recordstore.ca\/products\/beast_mode","provider":"Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
