The Atlanta Trap Music Museum will honor Future this summer. The organization officially announced the news on Tuesday, May 30, and they will hold the ceremony on Jun 8. Future, renowned for tracks like "Super Trapper," will be awarded the prestigious title of "Trapper of the Year" for 2022. DJ Major Key will provide the celebratory music for the event. Futhermore, T.I., the founder of the Trap Music Museum, will present Future with a custom Trapper of the Year ring designed by Ice Box Jewelry. Additionally, they will unveil an entire art exhibit dedicated to Future on June 8.

Future appears to be in very good company. T.I. established the Trap Music Museum in 2019 as part of his 15-year anniversary celebration of his iconic 2003 album, Trap Muzik. Last year, they honored Moneybagg Yo as the Trapper of the Year for 2021. The Trap Music Museum wrote on Instagram, urging everyone to join the celebration and witness the crowning of Future as the 2022 Trapper of the Year. Future's outstanding achievements in the past year make him a deserving recipient of this title. His album I Never Liked You received widespread acclaim in the hip-hop community.

Future Invests In Atlanta

Future has been making some big moves to invest in education in his hometown. According to a report from January 2023, experts deem only 20% of high school graduates ready for college-level STEM coursework. This encompasses science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. However, this percentage is likely even lower in regions with insufficient or unequal educational funding. Renowned rapper Future hails from Atlanta, which had previously gained recognition as one of the top areas for STEM careers. Nevertheless, a significant disparity exists between the corporate world and STEM education at the high school level. In an effort to address this inequity, Future has taken action by establishing the "I Am A Dreamer" STEM Lab at a school in Atlanta.

In a statement, the rapper emphasized the importance of providing STEM education to all students, regardless of their backgrounds. He expressed gratitude to the Freewishes Foundation and the 2K Foundations for their support in making this initiative possible within the Atlanta community. For about a decade, the Freewishes Foundation has dedicated itself to assisting communities in Georgia. With any luck, Future's support of STEM education in his community will make a big difference.
