New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Kicking off 2019 with a big and bold bang, Atlanta hip-hop superstar and multiplatinum trailblazer
Future returns with a brand new single and music video entitled "Crushed Up."
Propelled by nimble wordplay, slick bars, and a woozy chant, "
Crushed Up" shines over glimmering keys and icy 808s. While evoking strains of his signature style, it also sees the pioneering trendsetter level up with another quotable hook—"Diamonds in your face, crushed up, I can see 'em"—bound to be a lexicon-worthy catchphrase for 2019. Additionally, the cinematic video places him in a snowbound dreamscape trapped by wintry vixens inside of a gothic mansion. Beginning with a young
Future peering into a snow globe, the setting flips from a trap house to wild wonderland. At times chilling and transfixing, the visual captures the track's outsized ambition with otherworldly exposition and psychedelic energy. Watch it on Top40-Charts.com!

ABOUT FUTURE:
Where would hip-hop be without Future? With millions of singles and albums sold, countless packed shows, and streams in the billions, his shadow looms heavy over the game. He carried trap music from the bandos to fashion shows as a generation of Southern artists rose in his wake. A decade-long grind gave rise to an unbelievable string of mixtapes, reaching its apex on the trifecta of Monster, Beast Mode, and 56 Nights. 2015's DS2 became his first of five number one debuts on the Billboard Top 200 followed by What a Time To Be Alive with
Drake and Evol. In 2017, he unleashed the platinum-certified
Future and gold-selling Hndrxx back-to-back and emerged as "the first artist to release two Billboard Top 200 number ones in consecutive weeks." Future's "
Mask Off" went quadruple-platinum, ascended to #5 on the Hot 100, and became his biggest smash yet. He performed on The
Ellen DeGeneres Show, lit up Coachella, and headlined the massive "Nobody Safe" Tour. As he covered issues of GQ, Rolling Stone, and XXL, Hndrxx graced year-end lists from Pitchfork, Complex, Entertainment Weekly, Noisey, Variety, and more. He teamed with
Young Thug for the collaborative epic Super Slimey, which captured #2 on the Billboard Top 200 upon arrival. Extending his reach yet again, he provides the soundtrack for the high-profile
Superfly remake as he readies a barrage of new projects to be unveiled at his signature prolific pace.
