Future—EVOL—Lmtd. Edition Fiery Orange LP Vinyl Record
For fans of Young Thug, Yo Gotti, 2 Chainz, Rich Homie Quan, Gucci Mane, Mike WILL Made-It
File under transcendent morsels of hip hop brilliance

The album boasts some of Future's more interesting beats since or "," particularly "Photo Copied," which pops and boops like ""'s cousin, and the sing-song patter of "Xanny Family" which uses an ultra-repetitive hook to mesmerizing effect. "" has the sultriness of/-era , when Abel still seemed like a mysterious, hedonistic force, and Future's by-the-numbers bars reinforce the feeling that it is, in fact, a Weeknd track featuring Future. It ends up an album highlight.

"Lie to Me," arguably the album's best song, scrapes the maximal, spacey landscape Future's so skillfully explored before, and it's the moment where Future communicates most clearly what's behind his tremendous output—it's not the breakup, it's not the decadence, it's not the success, it's the combination of all three. He sounds paranoid, protective, and manipulative, flatly admitting "I got way, way too many issues." As Future stretches this championship run as far as he can, we can wonder: How good can he get? How much longer can this last? When does this become numbing? The answers remain to be seen, but two months into 2016, two minor-yet-good releases don't show a sign of slowing down.

||||||||||||||||||| SHIPPING & PACKING INFO ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

All records are shipped using bubble wrap and cardboard flats (plus extra shrink wrap over the bubble and cardboard if I think the situation calls for it)—all enclosed in a secure LP box that includes extra cardboard planks secured on the outside off each corner. Shipment is clearly marked "fragile" on both sides.

Each "loose" LP is shipped outside of the cover and packaged within a poly bag. Records are notorious for tearing through these jackets during the shipping process. Thus, many smaller labels ship records outside of the cover in a poly bag to eliminate damage (and ultimately replacement costs).

Note that all boxsets are given extra special attention to arrive safe and sound through the mail.

Upon request, I can open any sealed record and ship it outside of the sleeve (both placed within a poly bag).

Unless damaged through the mail, any return postage must be paid by buyer. Purchases must be returned as delivered.

A LITTLE 'BOUT US
Your purchase goes toward the efforts of launching NIN9VOLT RECORDS?an independent label of a couple of guys who love the Replacements, Drag the River, ALL, Archers of Loaf, Sam Beam, Ryan Adams, Liz Phair, and small indie labels like Polyvinyl, Topshelf, Run for Cover, Tiny Engines and many more.

We like smart, well-written lyrics and big guitars most of the time. But we can dig Natalie Merchant singing "Verdi Cries" or Jay Som's "I Think You're Alright".  Or her cool-as-shit ditty to Rush... "Why'd you wait...so long". One of us teaches high school English, the other is imaginary. It just sounds less artificial and not so pompous to think people care about one guy's taste. (But we are currently really digging Bridget Kearney's (Lake Street Dive) new solo record Won't Let You Down.
