Interesting facts

Evol is the fourth studio album by American rapper Future. It was released on February 6, 2016, through A1 Recordings and Freebandz, and distributed by Epic Records. The album features a sole guest appearance from the Weeknd. It premiered on DJ Khaled's We The Best Radio debut on Beats 1. Evol released five months after the collaborative mixtape What a Time to Be Alive (2015) and a month after Purple Reign (2016). Production was handled by frequent collaborators Metro Boomin, Southside, TM88 and DJ Spinz, among others.

Background and release

On December 25, 2015, The Weeknd released a collaborative song with Future, titled "Low Life", on SoundCloud. It was produced by Metro Boomin and Ben Billions and co-produced by The Weeknd. The song was later revealed to be included on Evol. On March 1, 2016, "Low Life" was released as the album's first single. A music video for the track premiered on MTV on the same month.

On February 1, 2016, DJ Khaled announced that he would be premiering Future's fourth album on the debut show of We The Best Radio on Beats 1. Future then announced the album title, release date and artwork, as well as individually tweeting the track list.

In early February, shortly after the album's announcement, Future became involved in a brief public exchange on Twitter with fellow Atlanta rapper Young Thug, which was widely interpreted as a dispute over prominence within the Atlanta trap music scene.

The album cover artwork was created by the Polish creative production studio Ars Thanea. The album's title is 'love' spelled backwards.
