We'd like to think that some of our favorite albums are readily available on the streaming platform of our choice, but that just isn't the case. We still don't have Aaliyah's catalog and Dr. Dre's classic The Chronic will become widely available on April 20. Back in 2016, Future shared his mixtape, Purple Reign. It was the Atlanta rapper's 16th mixtape that hosted no features and had production credits from Metro Boomin, Southside, Zaytoven, DJ Spniz, and more. The 12-track effort's artwork pays homage to late music icon Prince's album of the same name, and for years the project was only available on select platforms.

Now, fans will be able to stream wherever they like, and they took to social media to share their enthusiasm. The news of Purple Reign became the No. 1 trending topic on Twitter as fans took a walk down memory lane. The rapper has been slowly, but surely, releasing his projects on all platforms and his supporters can't get enough—especially after seeing that Future added his track "News or Something" to the end.
For those of you who aren't familiar with the project, give it a listen below. For avid future fans, enjoy the memories. Peep a few enthusiastic reactions from fans, as well.
Future’s Fans Want Him To Release This Mixtape On Streaming Services Too
After Future released both "Beast Mode" and "56 Nights" onto streaming services recently, fans want to be able to stream another one of his mixtapes.
Future's fans are itching for his 2016 mixtape, Purple Reign, to see the light of day on streaming services, after the rapper finally made two prior projects, Beast Mode and 56 Nights, available for streaming this past week. As far as extensive discographies go, Future is definitely up there. The rapper boasts a catalogue of sixteen solo mixtapes, two EPs, five collaborative projects, and seven studio albums in total over the course of ten years. His impressive solo mixtape run from 2010-2016 produced some of his most critically acclaimed work, including 2015's Beast Mode and 56 Nights, both of which he recently released on streaming services. Now, fans want to see the project that concluded his mixtape era up on streaming platforms: Purple Reign.
The DJ Esco and Metro Boomin-produced project is regarded by many of his most die-hard supporters as one of his most underrated bodies of work. Many members of the Future Hive thus took to Twitter to express their desire for their favourite artist to put Purple Reign on all streaming platforms ASAP.
