Blessings is the sixth studio album by American rapper Futuristic. The album was released on Christmas Day 2017, through We're the Future Records.[1]

Background[edit]

In an interview with Complex, about his last studio album As Seen on the Internet, Futuristic said,

I really do not like my last album, no. And I don't know if it's because all the emotions that came with making it, and finishing it, and it didn't necessarily live up to what I thought it was gonna do. I think that I had a lot of eyes and a lot of ears on me, and I don't think I delivered what I should have, because I was caught up in this idea that I had already had for years, that I just finally was like, "Okay, I'ma do it this way," but it didn't really make sense anymore.[2]

"Epiphany" was released as the lead single from the album on March 24, 2017, along with an accompanied music video.[3] The song features guest vocals from American rapper NF.[4]
