Future's "Ya Hit" has proven to be a polarizing single, and DJ Akademiks is explaining who is to blame for the situation.

DJ Akademiks does not mince words when it comes to his commentary. If he doesn't like something, he is going to let you know. If he feels as though an artist is making the wrong moves and has fallen off as a result, he is also going to let you know.

On Monday, Akademiks found himself weighing in on Future's new single "Ya Hit." It is a song that features rap heavyweights like Drake, Travis Scott, Loe Shimmy, and even Sexyy Red. However, the song has mostly been maligned for some weak verses from the song's three superstars. In fact, the song only did one million streams on the first day, which is weak for a song that should bring about tremendous magnitude.

In the clip below, Akademiks explains that this is ultimately Future's fault. He feels as though "Ran To Atlanta" was a success because Drake picked the right record. However, he claims Future simply picked the wrong record for this most recent effort.

DJ Akademiks Rants About Future

Unlike some of the detractors out there, Akademiks still believes this is a good song. He said as much on his stream, noting that "Ya Hit" is good because of the artists involved. Ak also believes that Future is going to have a plethora of hits on his next album, regardless.

Future is set to drop a new album called Infinity. At this time, there is no release date for the project. It's difficult to imagine this being released before the end of the year. Most labels are looking for albums to be released in the new year, especially now that the budgets are getting tighter.
