"Future and the Weeknd went in very different, very well-documented directions in 2015. Eschewing pop fame, the Atlanta rapper immersed himself in codeine and the dense trap beats of his pre-Pluto days. The Toronto singer, on the other hand, largely shed the sparse sound of his famed Trilogy in favor of MJ-worshipping, Max Martin-heralded pop success.
But the Weeknd did maintain his trademark destructive behavior. In this regard, he and Future are kindred souls. They're self-aware yet unapologetic, and operate best in the shadows. On "Low Life," Future drags the Weeknd back into the depths from which he had hardly receded. "I just took some molly, what else?" Future confesses from the onset, as if there's no alternative. The Weeknd simultaneously pulls some melody out of Future Hendrix, who never really starts or stops singing. Together, they find a middle ground of deadpan lyrics and palatable sonics. The Metro Boomin and Ben Billions-produced beat creates a similar contrast with echoey vocals or piano chords layered on top of drill snares. Nothing is surprising to Future and the Weeknd. No behavior is deplorable. They both sound natural and expressive on "Low Life," free to act and emote however they'd like." - Matthew Strauss
