Rapper Future's eponymous 5th album includes the song "Mask Off," a track released in 2017 that soared in popularity and has arguably reinstated flute as a feature in hip-hop (though some trace the re-emergence to Atlanta trap music of the 2000's).

This spurred a number of flute renditions of the lick in April 2017, which quickly spread online as the #MaskOffChallenge. Listen to these, they are very good:
