Pardon the pun but Future is providing for our future. The Atlanta rapper is set to support several students trying to advance their education.

Last week the Trap legend paid a visit to Columbia High School in Atlanta. He and his artist Guap Tarantino surprised undergraduates with an unscheduled performance, specially designed merch and a check for $10,000 in the school’s name. The vibes must have inspired Future as he will continue to pay his blessings forward with a new initiative that will coincide with his new “Legendary Nights” tour.

Prospective students around the country can now enter to win a college scholarship in the amount of $2000.00 via his FreeWishes College Scholarship. 17 scholarships will be awarded in total and gifted at each tour stop. Along with the scholarship, lucky recipients will also receive 2 tickets to the Legendary Nights Tour and an exclusive “I Am A Dreamer” sweatshirt.
Students interested in applying for the grant must follow FreeWishes’ social media feed (@freewishesfoundation) and submit a 500 word essay detailing “How Receiving This Scholarship Would Be A Dream Come True” to [email protected] by noon of each tour date. For more information you can visit FreeWishes.org.

Zoey Dollaz – “Highway Full of Pain”


Zoey Dollaz opens up and faces his deep issues.

Future’s protege hit the studio with Foreign Teck and Platinum producer Wallis Lane, to create this unforgettable banger, “Highway Full of Pain”. Many are familiar with the production of Lane, as he’s produced for Drake, PartyNextDoor, Travis Scott, Mac Miller and a host of other well-noted emcees.

“Highway Full of Pain” is one of the few songs, where Zoey unleashes his personal side telling a vivid story about his struggles and pain with addiction and depression. Zoey Dollaz on dark secret:

“I was in a suicidal, depressed, discouraged place. My mentality was in pain, I was physically numb. I was high as hell one time and went to the studio and created from my real emotions. It wasn’t a very good time, but that’s the beauty of it.”
