The whole Hip Hop world right now is likely listening to Future’s ninth studio album I NEVER LIKED YOU, which dropped on Friday (April 29) after weeks of teasers. One of the most highly anticipated releases of 2022, the 16-track follow-up to 2020’s High Off Life features appearances from Drake, Kanye West, Young Thug, Gunna, Tems and EST Gee.
However, those who know of Future’s insatiable work ethic shouldn’t be surprised that King Pluto is already gearing up to drop a deluxe edition of the new project on Monday (May 1). In an Instagram discussing the album, Young Scooter was asked if he and Future would ever collab again, to which he replied “Monday deluxe,” implying that more songs are on the horizon.
Fans online didn’t express much surprise at the possibility of a deluxe album considering this is the same rapper that dropped two Billboard charting albums one week apart from each other back in 2017.

Throughout the entire rollout of Future’s I NEVER LIKED YOU, Scooter has been somewhat of an insider. Future previously cited the FreeBandz signee as the driving force behind him dropping a new project in April.
“Scooter said drop album this month,” Future tweeted on April 5 to kickstart the rollout.
Scooter also recently previewed Kanye and Future’s upcoming video for their “KEEP IT BURNIN” collab, which dropped on Friday (April 29).
“Keep It Burnin” is Future and Kanye West‘s first official collaboration since 2014’s “I Won,” although as he explained during a recent cover shoot interview with GQ, their partnership goes back a long time.
“Me and Kanye always had a relationship,” he said. “But it’s hard for people to understand, because I don’t put everything on Instagram. Kanye flew me to Paris in 2011 or 2012 to work on music. [Discussing] his clothing line before it came, his shoe business before it came. People don’t know I’ve been able to go to his house, and pull up right into the crib. We just never talked about it.”
