Honest is the second studio album by American rapper Future. It was released on April 22, 2014, by A1 Recordings, Freebandz and Epic Records. The album features guest appearances from Drake and Wiz Khalifa, among others. The album was supported by five singles: "Karate Chop" featuring Lil Wayne, "Honest", "Shit", "Move That Dope" featuring Pharrell, Pusha T and Casino, and "I Won" featuring Kanye West, along with the promotional single "Real and True" featuring Mr Hudson and Miley Cyrus.

Honest received generally positive reviews from critics, debuting at number two on the Billboard 200, selling 53,000 copies in its first week. As of June 2014, the album sold 111,000 copies in the United States. The album was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

In June 2012, Future announced his second studio album would be titled Future Hendrix. In September 2012, during an interview with Montreality, he spoke about the album title, saying: "Future Hendrix just comes from being different. Jimi Hendrix, he always stood out, and I always like the way he stood out. It wasn't about me getting that rock'n'roll lifestyle...that comes with this music industry. It's another level; it's striving to be different. I want to do it at the end of February, but it all depends on how these singles do and what this Super Future do." In December 2012, during an interview with Sermon's Domain, he said that the album would be more R&B based, saying: "I want to say [Future Hendrix] will be more R&B based, but it's going to be more substance, more passion - just more down with feeling. I won't compromise who I am…I know my fans who've been down for me from day one, they understand the growth, and they gonna know when they hear Future Hendrix, they'll know that I'm not selling out…they're gonna understand that I'm doing music that was already happening. But I'ma still have street songs. It's gonna be street-driven…[but] it's going to be more filled up with records with substance."
