Background

On May 8, 2024, Future seemingly hinted towards the release of a mixtape to be released on May 10, which would actually turn out to be the release date from his then-upcoming feature on fellow American rapper Tee Grizzley's single, "Swear to God".^[6][7] However, it would eventually turn out to be postponed. In July 2024, producer Southside revealed that he was working on the project and described the work as a "new sound, like a whole new vibe".^[8] On September 2, four months after the project was first promised to be released, Future announced in a social media post that the mixtape was about to be released with a snippet of the song "Lil Demon" playing as he is seen in a recording studio.^[9] The mixtape would also see preorders become available, along with the confirmation of its status as an album. To promote the release, a 30-second video trailer was shared the following week with another song playing in the background.^[10] On September 6, fellow American rapper and singer Travis Scott teased the song "South of France", even though he was not featured on it. Future shared the artwork and release date alongside a snippet of a track titled "Too Fast" on September 11.^[11] The track listing was revealed on September 17.^[12]

According to the review aggregator Metacritic, Mixtape Pluto currently has a score of 73 out of 100 based on four critic reviews, indicating "generally favorable" reception. Robin Murray for Clash wrote that the mixtape is "beset with jewels", referring to "Surfing a Tsunami" and "Oath". However, he also stated that "it’s not perfect" and that there are "some moments that don’t hit as hard as others", highlighting "Plutoski" and "MJ". Murray concluded his review by writing that, "Mixtape Pluto offers ample evidence to [Future's] continuing singular form of genius".^[14] HotNewHipHop's Elias Andrews wrote in a positive review, "Mixtape Pluto is the comeback that mid-2010s fans have been waiting for. The song titles are concise and hard-hitting, as the beats and lyrics."^[18] Stereogum's Tom Breihan wrote in a positive review, "On first listen, none of Future's lyrics will fuel the gossip cycle. But this is a great example of Future sounding focused, even when he also sounds like he's high out of his mind".^[3]
