“Beautiful” by DJ Khaled (ft. Future and SZA)

DJ Khaled’s “Beautiful” is a love song in which, in reality, Future serves as the main vocalist. And in many ways it is exactly what you would expect from Hendrix, i.e. factors in the featured romance being such that he’s spending big cash and enjoying the likes of “mushrooms” with his sweetheart.

But that said, this isn’t really his type of standard, womanizing fare. Instead, what the vocalist is relaying is that this is a case of real love between him and the addressee. For instance, she wilds out every time he goes on tour, under the belief that Pluto is out there messing with other chicks. 

Her presence in his life has been holistically uplifting, i.e. mentally and spiritually in addition to the physically. So accordingly, he seems to look up to her as the type of woman who won’t screw around behind his back. And overall, it is clear that Future considers her to be akin to his soulmate, if you will.

Meanwhile, the purpose of Sza’s contribution is to verify that the feelings between the male and female in this equation are in fact mutual. And as far as the title goes, it’s based on their common assertion that their relationship is such that they actually feel highly valued by the other party.

The Conclusion

Conclusively, this song does feature some elements that you’re bound to find in just about any mainstream (Future) rap, such as wealth-based braggadocio and references to drugs. But it should be pointed out that most rap-love songs, even by some female artists these days, are such that the vocalist doesn’t really sound monogamous. But in “Beautiful” even Future, one of the most-infamous playas in the game, is putting forth that he’s actually found someone worthy of settling down with.

DJ Khaled, Future and SZA

DJ Khaled, as his moniker implies, is not really a vocalist himself. But as far as all DJ/producers of the last decade or so as of the dropping of this track, he has been afforded the opportunity to work with more A list musicians – primarily rappers and secondly R&B singers – than anyone else. 

So for instance Khaled did collaborate with SZA before, on a 2019 track called “Just Us”. Meanwhile, Future is actually one of his regular collaborators. As such, it has been reported that “Beautiful” marks the 20th track they have dropped in conjunction.
