Future Rhythm is the fourth studio album by the American hip hop group Digital Underground. It was released on June 4, 1996, via Critique/Radikal Records.[1][2][3] The album was produced by the D-Flow Production Squad. It features guest appearances from Luniz, Del the Funky Homosapien and the Black Spooks. The album reached number 113 on the Billboard 200 and number 26 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums in the United States.[4]
The album was supported with two singles: "Oregano Flow" and "Walk Real Kool", which peaked at numbers 75 and 95, respectively, on the US Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Songs "Food Fight" and "We Got More" were featured in Paris Barclay's film Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood, with the latter ended up appearing in its soundtrack album.
Critical reception
[edit | edit source]
Mike Boehm of the Los Angeles Times wrote that the album "sports a nice, laid-back take on George Clinton's elaborately semi-chaotic P-Funk production approach."[9] Jeff Niesel of The San Diego Union-Tribune opined that "the mellow grooves of 'Walk Real Kool', 'Future Rhythm' and 'Stylin'' simply fall flat."[10]
