Set for release on January 11, it comes ahead of his as yet unnamed seventh full length album, which drops on the 18th, via Epic Records, a division of Sony Music.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Random Ad stuff --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2076862002005673\" data-ad-slot=\"3107208401\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins><\/p>\n<p><script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Crushed Up&#8217; is characterised by Future&#8217;s slick wordplay and bars, and includes a woozy chant over glimmering keys, and 808s as cold as ice. The pioneering trendsetter spits out eminently quotable lyrics such as &#8220;Diamonds in your face\/crushed up\/I can see &#8217;em&#8221;, and matches it bar for bar with the cinematically exquisite video, which shows the artist in a snowbound dreamscape, where he&#8217;s trapped with sultry women in a gothic mansion. We start with the young Future staring into a snowdome, then we flip from a trap house to the wildest of wonderlands. The clip is at times chilling and yet transfixing, imbuing the track with an otherworldly and psychedelic energy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Crushed Up&#8217; has already found its way into Spotify&#8217;s New Music Friday playlists in over 37 markets, including the US, and Canada, reaching the number 1 spot in both countries. It&#8217;s broken through to the #1 spot on several Apple Music playlists as well, including &#8216;Essentials&#8217;, &#8216;A-List Hip Hop&#8217;, &#8216;On Repeat&#8217;, &#8216;It&#8217;s Lit&#8217;, and many more. The song trended worldwide and went Number 1 on the #OnRepeat Playlist in the UK, Germany, France, South Africa, Mexico, and Japan.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Crushed Up&#8217; is just one track from the forthcoming album, which marks the singer&#8217;s first solo album since his incredibly successful 2017 records, &#8216;Future&#8217;, and &#8216;Hndrxx&#8217;, and the absolute banger &#8216;Mask Off&#8217;. Altogether his previous releases serve as an firm foundation, giving the artist the momentum to go even bigger in 2019.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Future has also shared the details for his Official Documentary, &#8216;The WIZRD&#8217;, which debuts exclusively worldwide on Apple Music. The feature-length film follows the artist closely and peeks into corners of his world never-seen-before &#8211; until now. It opens up a window into his story and creativity unlike anything else. In order to properly launch &#8216;The WIZRD&#8217;, Future will personally host screenings with a Q&amp;A and album listening in Los Angeles, tomorrow, January 8, at iPic Theaters, and New York on January 10, at iPic Theaters, Southstreet, Seaport. &#8216;The WIZRD&#8217; will be officially released worldwide through Apple Music on January 11.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If that wasn&#8217;t enough, Future will also open a limited edition D2C store, with a brand new merchandise collection, also on January 11.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Stream and download &#8216;Crushed Up&#8217; <a href=\"http:\/\/smarturl.it\/CrushedUp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.
