about this album
Lucki’s second tape in the Freewave series. Just like the first one this tape is a collection of freestyles Lucki had released over the past couple months. This is Lucki’s second tape of 2016, following March’s Son of Sam EP. The cover of Freewave 2 merges concepts from the cover art of Nirvana’s Nevermind, as well as Future’s Dirty Sprite 2. In Nevermind’s original cover, the dollar bill on a fish hook represents materialistic ideals that are pushed onto people from a very young age. In this cover, the baby has swum past the dollar bill into the pinkish-purple clouds taken from DS2’s cover art. These clouds represent the “dirty Sprite,” or lean (a street drug which is a mixture of soda and cough syrup) which is the namesake of Future’s project. Therefore, this cover expresses that lean–and drugs in general–are an even deeper and darker desire than money. Lucki has never been shy about his battles with drug addiction and withdrawals. He explained that Future’s music was a major influence towards his own openness on his drug problems, saying in an interview with Pitchfork: “Getting high really affected my music and my relationships…and Future helped me understand what I was going through… I know getting high is bad, but Future made me feel like we were all in this together, and I wanted people to feel about me how I feel about Future.” User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
