Future has changed the title of his sophomore album from Future Hendrix to Honest. The follow up to 2012's Pluto will be released on November 26.
“Honest is the new me. It represents the truth I try to bring to my music,” Future told Rap-Up. “I plan to break the mold with this album so that it will be nothing like you’ve heard from me or any other artist out. You can either tell the truth or face the Future."
The album's first single will serve as the title track for the project. It will be released at 12:01 A.M. Thursday (August 8). The song is produced by Metro Boomin.

Drake lands his first solo cover of XXL Magazine. It's a special honor because it marks the publication's 150th issue and 16th anniversary.
The Young Money star talks about success, his forthcoming album Nothing Was the Same, Amanda Bynes, competition and more.
Check out an excerpt of his interview below, and be sure to grab a copy when the issue hits newsstands on August 20th.
ON THE NEW ALBUM
I remember coming into this year thinking, “How am I going to cut through all these people and shine?” I’ve never been part of a year when so many legends are dropping projects. How am I going to be seen? I’m going to be like the kid waving in the background in the photo with all of his tall relatives. And, I guess, those were my initial thoughts, and not to say that I haven’t enjoyed some of the stuff that has come out this year, but it didn’t pan out the way I thought it was going to. I think I am going for it, to really establish what are murmurs or things being said quietly, “Um, I think that Drake might actually…” On September 17th I want people to be like, “Oh, we were right.”
ON HIS IMAGE
Do I think that if I didn’t have, for lack of a better term, a unique look about me, if I was from somewhere in America and if I hadn’t been on a kids TV show [Degrassi: The Next Generation], would I be as famous? I don’t know, man. Honestly, I don’t think so. I was just some young kid on a TV show. And I haven’t become anything else while I’ve been in this position. It’s not like I got here and was like, “Oh, got to switch up my image.” I don’t wake up nervous. I feel like maybe a lot of these guys do. How old are you, really? What is your background, really? What have you really done in the drug game, in the thug game?
ON THE COMPETITION
It’s tough for me. That’s a guy I can’t pretend not to like. He’s the guy to me, in a lot of ways. That’s Kanye West. But I’m also here to be the best. I’m here to surpass. I’m here to outdo. I’m ready for whatever with anybody.
ON HIS SUCCESS
I get Jewish people coming up to me proud like, “Mazel Tov, bro. Come to my house for Shabbat dinner.”
AMANDA BYNES
I don’t even know who that is doing that or what that’s about. If that is her, I guess it’s a little weird and disturbing. It’s obviously a behavioral pattern that is way bigger than me. Whoever is behind it, whether it’s her or somebody else, they know people are paying attention so they keep it going.

"Before Nicki was wearing those crazy wigs/I was doing verses for her just hoping she made it big" - Ransom "Man Alone."
In a new song by New Jersey rapper Ransom titled "Man Alone," he references working with Nicki Minaj before she blew up. Some took the line as meaning he recorded songs with her, while others assumed he meant that he had ghostwritten for her.
TMZ caught up with Nicki on Tuesday (August 6) and asked her about Ransom possibly writing songs for her. The YMCMB emcee was not at all happy about it and took shots at Duffle Bag Ran.
"I rap better than him. Who the f*ck is he crazy?" Nicki said. "I'm not even a man and n*ggas got my d*ck in their mouths. Are you f*cking serious? I'm undisputed because I'm the only female rapper that day one, I don't need no motherf*cking ghostwriter. So if you're telling that lie you must be really f*cking desperate and you still ain't gonna pop. How a wack n*gga gonna write my sh*t? I haven't even heard about that n*gga in the last five years. I slaughter these n*ggas."
Nicki Minaj goes off on Ransom
"Man Alone"
**UPDATE** August 8
Ransom has responded via Twitter to Nicki dissing him.
"I was there when you wasn't hot.. Never asked you for anything when you got hot. Now I get this disrespect," he wrote on the social networking site.
The marriage proposal was an obvious joke referring to DJ Khaled recently asking Nicki to get hitched.
Ran further clarified his lyrics in an interview with TMZ.
"What I meant was, she used to call me to get on her songs. Never once did I not pick the phone for this woman. I did the verses, it was all love, and now this," Ransom says. "I meant that we did verses together. I did verses for her records. I always helped her."
Ran added that you shouldn't expect any diss records from him aimed at Nicki.
"She's a woman. I ain't got no beef with her. That would make me less of a man."

Jay Z didn't have "99 Problems" during his music video shoot for "Picasso Baby," but one spectator did prove to be a pain in the back.
Hov interacted with fans and celebrities while filming the performance art film. However, actress Jemima Kirke took it too far according to the New York Daily News. She literally had to be pulled off of the rapper by his security after repeatedly jumping on his back and refusing to let go.
“She was acting totally nuts!” said one witness. “She kept jumping on his back like a little monkey,”
Kirke, a star on the HBO series Girls, was finally pried loose, but it wasn't easy. After someone screamed, "Get her off of him!" security went into action. According to the report, Kirke kicked and begged, “Let us finish!” as she was removed from the gallery. Jay proved to be the consummate professional by continuing to perform throughout the ordeal.
Luckily Beyonce wasn't there or she might have forced Kirke to "Bow Down."
