Future's run of connecting with one of the hottest producers in the game for a mixtape will continue soon as Mike WiLL Made-It tweeted out the cover art for the duo's upcoming Ape Shit project. Back in December, the beat maker dropped by the XXL offices and gave us an early scoop on the project:

"It’s like a tape, really,” Mike said. ”Just something to just feed the streets right quick, ’cause at the end of the day me and Future do so many different types of music.”

Mike had a huge 2014 working with his Ear Drummer Records acts like Rae Sremmurd and Two-9, to very different groups who have found their lane in the mainstream and underground. But with his close association with Future, the two felt it was time to reconnect and give their fans new music.

“So [2013] I feel like it was more radio-driven and more pop, ’cause we worked on Miley’s album—I executive produced Miley’s album—then we did [Future's] album, and he just did the Ape Shit,” Mike said about how the project came together. “But me and him got so many songs, so I was like, people love when me and him come together anyway. So people would love a full project of that, you know.”

Future also announced the "Monster vs. Beast Mode" tour, which starts in May. It's mostly club venues but does include stops in Florida, Washington D.C., Boston, Houston, and more. Check the dates below.

Future isn't the only artist Mike WiLL is working with again. Over the weekend, Miley Cyrus, who worked with the producer on her Bangerz project posted several Instagram pictures of the two in the studio together:

Looks like Mike-WiLL is following up his 2014 with an even stronger 2015.
