'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[edit]
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 West in its year of release, since he had vocals on 'Siiiiiiiiilver Surffffeeeeer Intermission' from West's album The Life of Pablo (2016).
Composition[edit]
Multiple elements are sampled from We Are the Take's 2010 song 'Montreal Love Song' throughout the track, most noticeably the vocals 'I can't figure it, I can't figure it out, out'.[5] As well as this, drums from 1968 single 'Get Out of My Life Woman' by Solomon Burke are sampled throughout.[6]
Music video[edit]
On March 6, 2016, Montana shared a photo online of him and the two featured artists filming a music video for the song.[7] It was officially released on May 5, 2016 and was filmed in a desert.[8] Two days after the release of the music video, West tweeted out a link to it and also expressed his enjoyment from filming with Montana and Nas.[9]

Kanye West, Nas, and French Montana get fly in the desert for “Figure It Out.” The long-awaited music video for their collaboration, which was shot in March, has finally landed.
The rappers hit the Mojave Air & Space Port in California in the Eif Rivera-directed clip, which is filled with airplanes, stunt bikes, and a Rolls-Royce. While sand creates a smoky backdrop, Esco, Yeezy, and French deliver bars about what they can’t quite figure out.

This marks the first time the Wave Gods mixtape cut is commercially available for purchase and it comes out as Montana celebrates big news. On Thursday (May 5), he continued his longstanding bond with Diddy by signing to Bad Boy’s new Epic Records imprint.
“French Montana is a proven hitmaker,” said Puff. “When I first heard him, I knew he had that special Bad Boy sound and I believed in his potential. He was on the fast track then, and now, to see how far he’s come, he’s a major force in hip-hop and a key member of the Bad Boy family. Bad Boy is known for creating the biggest acts in hip-hop—and French is not only a part of our legacy but now also a part of our new chapter at Epic Records.”

L.A. Reid, Epic’s chairman and CEO, agrees. “Anyone who has paid attention to the course of hip-hop over the past decade has found French Montana consistently at the eye of the storm,” said Reid. “He has funneled his North African roots and Bronx upbringing into a unique presence on hundreds of tracks by artists across the musical spectrum. French has now become one of hip-hop’s core artists himself, and I’m happy to welcome him to the Epic family.”

Meanwhile, French is happy to join the family. “Love the respect and appreciation that L.A. Reid and his team have for music. I think it’s rare to find that in the industry today,” Montana said. “Being able to start this chapter at Epic with my Bad Boy family is a blessing. Puff and [Bad Boy President] Harve [Pierre] have been like big brothers to me and there’s nothing better than making music with the people you love.”
