Welcome to the Afterfuture is a studio album by American hip hop musician Mike Ladd. It was released on Ozone Music in 2000.
Jon Caramanica of CMJ New Music Monthly felt that "Ladd's futurism is merely a mask for his very tangible discontent with the present." He said: "References to the police state permeate the album, arguing that the new world order and newspeak are more than just things weeded street-corner bards philosophize on; they're integral to maintaining the power status quo."
The album was included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.
