Future Reunites Drake and Travis Scott on “Ya Hit,” the Lead Single From His Next Album

Future called his friends the Avengers, and then he dropped them on one song. “Ya Hit,” a surprise single out Friday (Nov. 6), has Drake, Travis Scott and Florida rapper Loe Shimmy trading verses over an ATL Jacob beat, with ad-libs from Sexyy Red, per Pitchfork. Future announced the song earlier in the week without naming Drake or Travis, Rolling Stone notes, and in his Instagram caption he called the whole crew the Avengers. Listen below.

It’s a reunion on two fronts. Pitchfork says it’s Future and Drake’s second collaboration this year, after “Ran to Atlanta,” and Drake’s first with Scott since 2023’s “Meltdown.” Billboard calls it the first time the three have been on one track and reads it as a sign that the friction left over from Drake’s 2024 battle with Kendrick Lamar is over. It adds that Drake and Scott were spotted courtside at a Houston Rockets game on Halloween and then at Ye’s concert, and that footage showed Shimmy, Drake, Future, Scott and Sexyy Red in Houston on Thursday, apparently shooting a visual.

The song itself is a bruiser. The FADER’s review hears “enormous distorted synths and thumping 808s,” and Shimmy handles the chorus before Future shades a woman he’s done with. Drake, per Billboard, takes aim at one of his rapper opps and their pockets.

Drake, “Ya Hit”, Billboard

Scott can’t stop thinking about Grand Theft Auto VI, which Billboard says arrives Nov. 19: “In the trap with the vibes, they wouldn’t survive, this s–t GTA VI.” For more on the game’s music, see our story on the soundtrack.

The bigger news is what “Ya Hit” belongs to. Pitchfork bills it as the first official song from a forthcoming Future album, his first since The Real Me, which we covered and which Billboard says topped the Billboard 200. Future teased the follow-up this week with a post reading “Bringin the static back #INFINITY.” HotNewHipHop, citing the tracker Kurrco, reports that the album is called Infinity. Billboard says only that it “appears to be” titled that, and there’s no release date.

It also landed on Lil Baby’s release day. Fans joked that it would overshadow his album, per Rolling Stone, and Future reposted Lil Baby’s announcement on his Instagram story in support. Pitchfork notes Future is preparing to headline Camp Flog Gnaw in Los Angeles.
