Future has sold the publishing rights to his recorded output from 2004 – 2020 to the investment firm Influence Media Partners, and is walking away with a massive eight-figure payday.

The catalog contains 612 titles, including collaborations with Drake (“Life Is Good”, “Jumpman”), Kendrick Lamar (“King’s Dead”), Rihanna (“Selfish”), and The Weeknd (“Mask Off”).

Influence Media Partners said in a statement it is “honored” to be partnering with King Pluto. A source informed Variety the final deal was in the “high eight figures.”

“I put everything into my music, and I wanted to make sure these were in good hands as I thought about the next chapter of these songs,” Future said in a statement. “I’m proud to partner up with Rene and the team at Influence Media and send a signal that this music has timeless value. My music is my art, and these songs represent some of the most precious artwork of my career.”

Rene McLean, Influence Media partner and founding advisor, added in her own statement: “Future is a cultural icon. He continues to be a blueprint for impact and success in the music industry and has reinvented music in ways that no one has ever expected.”

“It is rare to find someone who moves music and culture at the same speed with his distinct vocal and melodic style. His prolific career and continued popularity more than 15 years into the game is a testament to his undeniable influence on the contemporary music and culture landscape. We’re honored to be partnered with him.”

Influence Media Partners describe themselves on their website as “a music and entertainment platform that is focused on investing in the recording and publishing rights of commercially proven songs that resonate throughout pop culture.”
