"Figure It Out" is a single by American rapper French Montana, featuring Kanye West and Nas. The track was released on May 6, 2016 as the first single from Montana's mixtape MC4 (2016). [1] It was also released as the first single from his mixtape Wave Gods (2016), which was released at an earlier date than the single itself. [2]

Background

Montana initially revealed that he had been working on music with West in July 2014 when he shared a snippet of a collaboration between them via Instagram. [3] However, this snippet was revealed at a later date to be part of an unreleased track titled "Ass Shots" when it surfaced online in full. [4]

"Figure It Out" didn't mark the only time that Montana was involved musically with Kanye West in its year of release, since he had vocals on " Siiiiiiiiilver Surffffeeeeer Intermission" from West's album The Life of Pablo (2016).

Music video

On March 6, 2016, Montana shared a photo online of him and the two featured artists filming a music video for the song. [5] It was officially released on May 5, 2016 and was filmed in a desert.
