Though Future had told MTV that Streetz Calling would be his final mixtape prior to the release of his debut studio album, another mixtape, Astronaut Status, was released in January 2012. Before his album being released in April 2012.[3][4] XXL's Troy Mathews wrote, "While Astronaut Status is up and down and never really hits the highs like 'Racks', 'Tony Montana', and 'Magic' that fans have come to expect from Future, it’s apparent that he’s poised to continue the buzz of 2011 humming right along into 2012."[5] Future was selected to the annual XXL Freshmen list in early 2012.[6] His debut album Pluto, originally planned for January, was eventually released on April 17.[7][8] It includes remixes of "Tony Montana" featuring Drake and "Magic" featuring T.I..[9] According to Future, "'Magic' was the first record T.I. jumped on when he came out of jail. T.I. was out of jail a day and he jumped straight on the 'Magic' record without me even knowing about it."[9] The track became Future's first single to enter the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[10] Other collaborators on the album include R. Kelly, Snoop Dogg and Trae Tha Truth. The album is not certified.[11]
