Update (9/20, 8:55 PM): What a Time to Be Alive will be an Apple Music exclusive for one week.

As promised, Drake and Future have just released the mixtape What a Time to Be Alive via Apple Music. While the mixtape features production credits from Boi-1da, Southside, Noah “40” Shebib, and more, the entire thing was executive produced by Metro Boomin. Check out the cover art and tracklist below. Listen to it here.

“When you get around Future it’s like a vortex,” Drake said before premiering the mixtape on Beats 1 Radio. He went on to praise Future’s work ethic and spoke about how he originally went to Atlanta to do “a few songs” with Future, but soon their collaboration turned into “a tape”. “It’s a little soundtrack for the people who need it right now,” Drake said.

Future has now released three mixtapes this year. (In January, he put out Beast Mode and in March, 56 Nights.) Drake released If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late in February. They most recently collaborated on “Where Ya At” from Future’s Dirty Sprite 2.
