Future, who has been in the mainstream for close to ten years, has consistently guided his own ship. His determination and skill have enabled him to navigate the wheel in his own way. Additionally, for the cover story of XXL magazine, the rapper attempts to command a ship in person.
Future received yachting instruction aboard Harley G, a 120-foot custom yacht, while traversing the Pacific Ocean in San Pedro, California, in March of last year (2016). Hendrix, clad in black Rick Owens sneakers, tan and black leather trousers by Rhude, a tan Prada shirt, and Gucci glasses, regarded the wheel while absorbing game knowledge from the rapper’s instructor for the day, Captain Brad Momsen.
Future grasps a steering wheel as Captain Momsen attempts to educate the “Life Is Good” artist on the procedures for navigating a ship by chuckling nautical jargon. After a moment of averting his gaze to examine the controllers, Hendrix reveals that purchasing a yacht has been an ambition of his ever since.
“How much is this boat?” Future inquiries. “Anywhere between $6 and $11 million,” responds Momsen. In reality, this Harley G is valued at $15 million.
The Atlanta rhymer has had an eventful few years, the most recent milestone being the command of a multimillion-dollar vessel. As a defining artist of the 2010s, Hendrix has released codeine-soaked compositions since 2011 that evoke both trauma and triumph through the use of trap elements. A few months have passed since the release of his Drake-featured single “Life Is Good,” which reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. Presently, Future is enjoying the benefits of an almost unparalleled stream of output and an iconic aesthetic.
Life Is Good, his eighth studio album, is scheduled for release this year. Ahead of him is a new endeavor and a powerful single that shares the title of his forthcoming album; Hendrix is striving to live up to the adage.
