What A Time To Be Alive
*What a Time to Be Alive* captures Drake and Future at the height of their powers. Recorded in six days, their interplay is respectful as it is complementary, matching Drake’s inward-facing narratives with Future’s personal demon-slaying. Club anthems like “Jumpman,” “Digital Dash,” and “Diamonds Dancing” fulfill the rap nerd fantasy of two superheroes trading lyrical blows in the octagon.
What a Time to Be Alive was allegedly born out of an impromptu, six-day recording session between Drake and Future, and the mixed results won't surprise anyone who has already noted the decided lack of chemistry between the two. There's been a Drake feature on every Future album, but none of them are particularly riveting, and on What a Time it's clearer than ever that they have difficulty sharing the same space.
