HYSTORY

HYSTORY

A creative triumph by John “FEELSOUL” Futrell, HYSTORY is an evocative musical experience blending rap, poetry, rhythm, and soul into a genre-defying journey. Written, produced, and mastered by Futrell himself, this project transcends the conventional boundaries of contemporary rap and R&B, offering something entirely unique: rap poetry and rhythm and poetry.

At its heart, HYSTORY tells a raw and relatable short story about love, lust, and the emotional complexities that intertwine them. Through deeply personal lyrics and immersive soundscapes, it explores the highs and lows of relationships, as well as the emotional scars and patterns that shape the main character’s pursuit of love.

The journey begins with the title track, HYSTORY—a sultry R&B-rap hybrid that sets the tone. Here, the protagonist speaks metaphorically about “treating history like foreplay,” inviting a past lover to build a future rooted in their shared experiences. But as the narrative unfolds, the songs reveal a bittersweet realization: history alone isn’t enough to sustain love.

With its poetic storytelling, lush instrumentation, and genre-fusing approach, HYSTORY delivers an unforgettable listening experience. It’s a project for anyone who’s ever been caught between nostalgia and moving forward, offering soulful melodies and poignant reflections that will linger long after the music stops.
