Future - Astronaut Status [New Mixtape]

Future is nowhere near the best lyricist or the best party rapper to come out of the A, but somehow he's captured the ears of many and gained quite the national following.  He even has a nice group of rappers including T.I., Diddy, and Young Jeezy supporting and respecting his movements to become Atlanta rap royalty.

After writing "Racks" for YC and getting the words "Tony Montana" stuck in everyone's head, this new mixtape Astronaut Status is either going to increase his standing as a new contender, or place him in the full graveyard of Atlanta 2 hit wonders.

I'm sure there will be an Astronaut Status TT on Twitter and tons of cosigns from other rappers, but make sure you judge this for yourself. If it's ass, express it! I sure will.  Judge for yourself below by streaming or downloading the tape, and make sure I'm included in the discussion!
