"Life Is Good": Future & Drake’s Hustler’s Anthem
Released on January 10, 2020, Life Is Good is a massive collaboration between Future and Drake, marking yet another hit from the duo. The song blends two contrasting styles, with Drake delivering a smooth, introspective opening before Future takes over with a hard-hitting, trap-infused verse.
The track became a viral sensation, peaking at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earning diamond certification, proving its long-lasting impact. With its iconic beat switch and memorable lines, Life Is Good became one of the biggest anthems of 2020.
Background & Creation
Following the success of previous collabs like Jumpman and Where Ya At, Future and Drake linked up again, delivering two songs in one. Produced by Ambezza, OZ, and D. Hill, the track starts with a moody, melodic beat for Drake, before transitioning into a bass-heavy, trap banger for Future.
Drake’s verse focuses on the luxuries of success, while Future shifts the energy, rapping about hustling, grinding, and staying ahead in the game. This duality creates a dynamic listening experience, making the song stand out from typical rap collaborations.
Music Video & Legacy
The music video, directed by Director X, takes a comedic approach, featuring Drake and Future working various jobs—as chefs, mechanics, garbage collectors, and even Apple Store employees. Cameos from 21 Savage, Lil Yachty, and Mike Will Made-It add to the fun, making the visuals as iconic as the song itself.
Since its release, Life Is Good has become a club, streaming, and TikTok favorite, with countless remixes and cultural references. Its infectious energy, legendary beat switch, and undeniable chemistry between Future and Drake solidify it as one of the most iconic collabs in modern hip-hop.
