Rapper Future may have a somewhat sketchy personal life and some baby momma drama, but his "future" seems to be coming along quite nicely as he's producing and working with some of the industry's top acts (including Rihanna) and has just added another high-profile name to his list. He tweeted, "rt “@JLo: Back on the block!! Guess what's coming.."
"What's coming" is a collaboration with Jennifer Lopez, which should prove very entertaining. Jenny from the block has a history of tapping some of rap's hottest acts to help add some street cred to her tracks.
We haven't been feeling her music lately, but maybe this one will work for her.
The mom of twins Max & Emme also posted a pic of her and Future with producer Cory Rooney, who's responsible for some of her biggest hits like "Ain't It Funny", "I'm Real" and "Jenny From The Block."
