In 2010 and 2011, Future caught fire in Atlanta, his home base, with a string of mixtapes that bridged tough trap with pop — the kind of stuff that gets a lot of play in nightclubs. After his massive single "Tony Montana," Future's name spread across the South and the rapper signed with Epic Records, releasing his debut studio album, "Pluto," in 2012. Last April, Future put out his second full-length, "Honest," a grittier album that found Future becoming comfortable in his abilities and featured a host of collaborative artists, including Pharrell, Wiz Khalifa, Drake, and Kanye West.

Future performs with Jhene Aiko, Rico Love, Que, and Young Money Yawn on Friday, May 30, at Blue Cross Arena, One War Memorial Square. 8 p.m. $39.50-$50. Bluecrossarena.com; Futurefreebandz.com.
