Last night, Drake and Future released their highly-anticipated, long-awaited mixtape, What a Time to Be Alive, exclusively on iTunes.
The mixtape, which premiered an hour before its release during an exclusive OVO Sound Radio on Beats 1 show, features 11 brand new tracks from the two rappers. The first nine tracks are collaborative efforts while the remaining two are solo tracks, one from each of the rappers.

"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," Drake said during the radio show. "It's tough to see someone do four, five songs in one night and not try to match it."
What a Time to Be Alive was executively produced by Metro Boomin with additional production from Noah "40" Shebib, Boi-1da and Southside.
Both rappers make a reference to Drake's rumored girlfriend, tennis star Serena Williams.
"Just walked in with a girl that's making triple what I make/What an entrance," the Canadian rapper raps. Future raps, "I got rings like Serena."
The mixtape is the second mixtape that Drake released on iTunes this year. The first, If You're Reading This It's Too Late, included smash singles "Energy" and "Know Yourself." He is expected to release his fourth studio album, Views from the 6 in January.
