"Mask Off"
Song

"Mask Off" is a song by American rapper Future for his eponymous fifth studio album Future (2017). The track was later released as the second single after initially charting as an album track and receiving more popularity than the lead single "Draco".[2] It is the highest-charting song on the album and also Future's highest-charting single to date, peaking at number 5 on the US Billboard Hot 100.[3]

Song

The song samples "Prison Song" by Tommy Butler, released in 1978 as part of his musical Selma. The song also bears similarities to "Topp Doggz" by Swedish hip hop band Looptroop Rockers with Petter, which also samples "Prison Song".[4]

Chart performance

"Mask Off" peaked at number five on the US Billboard Hot 100 for the week of May 6, 2017, becoming Future's highest-charting overall single on the chart. The song has spent a total of eight weeks so far on the chart and also peaked in the top 10 in New Zealand, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, Canada and France, where it charted the highest at number two. It was certified quadruple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for combined sales and streaming equivalent units of over four million units.

Music video

The music video for "Mask Off" was released on May 5, 2017. It was directed by Colin Tilley. It features appearances from Amber Rose and DJ Esco.

Live performances and remixes

The official remix features a guest appearance from American rapper Kendrick Lamar and was mixed by engineer Alex Tumay, released on May 23, 2017.[5] Its release follows the performance of "Mask Off" by Future alongside Kendrick Lamar at the 2017 Coachella Festival.[6] Lamar has performed live covers of "Mask Off" at every show on the Damn tour since the release of the remix.[7]

On June 16, 2017, a remix produced by Marshmello was released.[8] Marshmello's fans have deemed the remix ironic as the DJ is known for masking his identity behind a marshmallow-inspired helmet.[9]

Usage in media

The song was featured in an episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
