DESCRIPTION
Released on September 9, 2011, "Streetz Calling" is one of Future's most pivotal mixtapes, presented by A1FBG and premiered on LiveMixtapes. This project is notable not only for its content but also for its behind-the-scenes adjustments; DJ Drama was originally slated to host the mixtape, adding his iconic Gangsta Grillz brand to the project, but was removed prior to its release. Despite this change, "Streetz Calling" remains a crucial work in Future’s discography, showcasing his unique blend of melodic autotune-infused rap and introspective lyrics.

The mixtape opens with "Made Myself A Boss," a declarative track that sets the tone with its self-assured lyrics and catchy beat. Future’s ability to combine street narratives with aspirational messages is immediately evident. "Same Damn Time" follows, offering one of Future’s most iconic hooks, encapsulating his multi-tasking lifestyle and rapid rise in the hip-hop industry.

"Name Hold Weight" and "Can't Make This Up" delve deeper into Future's personal philosophy and work ethic, marked by his lyrical dexterity and the emotional weight he brings to his narratives. "Running Through A Check" and "Power Of That P," which features Rocko, focus on the themes of success and the influence that comes with power and money in the street economy.

"Ball Forever" and "The Way It Go," featuring Gucci Mane, continue exploring these themes, with both tracks reflecting on longevity and loyalty in the game. "Never Be The Same" and "Gone To The Moon" are standout tracks for their introspective look at how fame has transformed Future’s life and relationships.

"Easter Pink" and "Word To My Muva," featuring Chubbie Baby, showcase Future’s ability to play with language and imagery, creating vivid pictures of his lifestyle and mindset. "E," featuring Trouble, and "Unconditional Love" offer a rawer, emotional contrast to the rest of the mixtape, revealing Future's softer side amidst the hardened exterior.

"If You Knew What It Took" provides a fitting conclusion to the main body of the mixtape, with Future reflecting on the sacrifices and challenges he has faced to reach his current status. The bonus track "Corner" by Young Scooter adds an additional layer to the mixtape, emphasizing the collective strength of Future's musical and street affiliations.

"Streetz Calling" is a defining moment for Future, capturing the essence of his sound and thematic concerns just as he was cementing his place in the rap industry. The mixtape's blend of trap beats and melodic flows, combined with Future's lyrical introspection, makes it a seminal project that helped shape the trajectory of trap music. It is essential listening for understanding the evolution of one of Atlanta’s most influential modern rap artists.
