As Seen on the Internet is the fifth studio album by American rapper Futuristic. It was released on August 26, 2016 through We're The Future Records.[1] The album features guest appearances from Hopsin, Devvon Terrell, Karmin and Goody Grace.
In an interview with Sway Calloway, about the album, Futuristic said that:
"As Seen on the Internet" is a project that I been wanting to do forever and it's basically it came from like, I popped off from doing that nerd rap and what I did was I collab with a big YouTuber and I dropped my video on the same day and we cross promoted them. So we did that and I just got hella fans from it so I was like "If I could do that one time, what would happen if I did a whole album and every song was like that where I grabbed the biggest people from the internet that they're not even in music necessarily just big people from the internet and incorporated them into the album?".[2]
After the release of the album, Futuristic released eleven music videos all directed by Jakob Owens to promote the album.[2]
The album debuted at number 116 on the Billboard 200 for the chart dated September 17, 2016.[3] It also debuted on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and Rap Albums charts at number ten and eight respectively and debuted at number 200 in the Belgian Albums chart.[4] [5] [6]
