Beast Mode is the tenth mixtape by American rapper Future, released in collaboration with Atlanta producer Zaytoven. It came out on January 15, 2015. Along with Monster and 56 Nights, it is considered part of "a trilogy of album-quality mixtapes" that Future released following Honest.[1][2]
Background
Beast Mode came just two-and-a-half months after Monster, six months after his second album, Honest, and two days after Ciara released "I Bet", her first song since the breakup between her and Future.[3][4][5] According to Zaytoven, “Really, the work was done in two to three days. The rest was just picking which record we wanted to use. For somebody else to come in and see us doing the work, it would blow your mind....We might’ve gotten 40 songs done as we were putting this tape together. That’s us doing songs back-to-back. I make a beat, he raps to it… And we’d do it all over again. We might do 10 songs a day.”[6]
On the song "Kno The Meaning", from DS2, Future elaborated on the impetus behind the project and its origin in DJ Esco's 56-day incarceration in Dubai: "People didn't even understand that my hard drives that I recorded all my music on for two years straight was on this... was on this one hard drive that Esco had and he was locked up with it, so I had to record new music. That's when I did Beast Mode."[7] DJ Esco returned to the USA two days before the release of Beast Mode.[8]
