Future Rhythm is the fourth album by the American rap group Digital Underground, released in 1996.[7][8] It was their first independent release. Two songs from the album were included on the soundtrack to the Wayans brother's film Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood: "Food Fight", which showcases Humpty Hump and Del the Funky Homosapien trading verses, and "We Got More", with the Luniz.

The album peaked at No. 113 on the Billboard 200.[9]

Critical reception

The Los Angeles Times wrote that the album "sports a nice, laid-back take on George Clinton's elaborately semi-chaotic P-Funk production approach."[10] The San Diego Union-Tribune opined that "the mellow grooves of 'Walk Real Kool', 'Future Rhythm' and 'Stylin'' simply fall flat."[11]
