If industry expectations hold, the new collaboration between Drake and Future is poised for a major week on the Billboard 200 album chart.
After teasing the crowd at Music Midtown Saturday night that the mixtape "What a Time to Be Alive" was on its way, Drake dropped the release on Sunday.
Now, the album is expected to move 400,000-500,000 its first week, which would be the second-highest weekly tally of 2015 following…Drake and his February release of “If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late.”
In a recent Rolling Stone interview, Drake revealed, "I went to Atlanta for six days a couple weeks ago with the hopes of doing some songs with Future, and when you get around Future, it's like a vortex, that guy can outwork anybody right now. It's tough to see someone do four, five songs in one night and not try to match it."
The pair first co-starred on the Atlanta rapper’s “Tony Montana” song from his 2012 debut, “Pluto” and then on Future’s “Never Satisfied” track from his 2014 album, “Honest.”
