{"product_id":"i_never_liked_you","title":"I Never Liked You","description":"\u003cp\u003eI Never Liked You is the ninth studio album by Atlanta rapper Future, released on April 29, 2022 via Freebandz and Epic Records. It’s his first solo album since 2020’s High Off Life and arrives after the collaborative project Pluto x Baby Pluto with Lil Uzi Vert, positioning him back at center stage in mainstream trap. The standard edition runs 16 tracks and about 48–49 minutes, keeping the runtime tight by trap‑album standards, with production from ATL Jacob, FnZ, Southside, Taurus, TM88, Wheezy, and others. Guests include Kanye West, Gunna, Young Thug, Drake, Tems, EST Gee, and Kodak Black, while a deluxe edition released three days later adds features from Babyface Ray, 42 Dugg, Lil Baby, Lil Durk, and Young Scooter. Commercially, the album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 222,000 first‑week units, becoming Future’s eighth US chart‑topper and later earning double‑platinum certification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThematically, I Never Liked You leans hard into Future’s self‑styled “toxic king” persona, focusing on wealth, sex, status, and emotional detachment more than introspection or regret. Tracks like “712PM” (the hard‑hitting opener), “I’M DAT N***A,” “PUFFIN ON ZOOTIEZ,” and “HOLY GHOST” revel in his success and influence, while collaborations such as “KEEP IT BURNIN” (with Kanye West), “WAIT FOR U” (with Drake and Tems), “I’M ON ONE,” and “CHICKENS” extend his formula of moody, melodic trap with high‑profile guests. Critics and fans generally praised the album’s production quality and several standout songs—many calling it his best work since the mid‑2010s run—yet some reviews noted that the record often sacrifices the nuanced vulnerability of earlier Future projects in favor of more one‑note tales of sexcapades and flexing. As a result, I Never Liked You is often seen as a strong, hit‑filled late‑career statement: sonically polished, packed with big collaborations, and emblematic of Future’s enduring role as one of trap’s key architects, even if it doesn’t radically expand his emotional range.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Record Store","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl \/ 2LP - Black Vinyl","offer_id":53675453415738,"sku":"38866","price":42.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/2041\/0682\/files\/Screenshot_2026-07-02_at_8.26.34_PM.jpeg?v=1783038565","url":"https:\/\/recordstore.ca\/products\/i_never_liked_you","provider":"Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
