Young Metro and Pluto aim for a repeat feat with J. Cole, A$AP Rocky, and others.
Metro Boomin and Future have returned with their latest album, We Still Don't Trust You, just three weeks after their previous release. This time, the Atlanta duo is determined to maintain their winning streak, with the album set to drop on Friday, April 12. The LP consists of two discs, featuring a total of 25 new tracks. Notable guest appearances include The Weeknd, J. Cole, A$AP Rocky, and more.
Their previous project, We Don't Trust You, made a significant impact, reaching the top spot on the Billboard 200 chart. It garnered 251,000 album-equivalent units in the week ending March 28, solely from streams. Metro expressed his gratitude on social media, emphasizing that the success was solely due to the support and embrace of their fans.
Kendrick Lamar's guest appearance on the track "Like That" caused a stir in the rap game, as he took shots at J. Cole and Drake. The fiery song quickly climbed to the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, accumulating the highest number of streams in a week in over a year. It also sold 9,000 copies and received significant radio airplay. Metro celebrated the success of the song, highlighting that it marked his first number-one hit as a billed artist.
Overall, the rap game is thriving, and Metro Boomin and Future continue to make their mark with their latest album.
In recent times, the future has remained relatively quiet, however, the past few weeks have been tumultuous for Metro. The renowned producer experienced a hacking of his social media profiles, but thankfully, the St. Louis native managed to regain control of them after scammers briefly impersonated him at the beginning of April.
Metro and Future celebrate by taking the Tesla Cybertruck for a spin while listening to "We Still Don't Trust You." Explore the album and our rankings of all 25 tracks featured on the LP below.
"#1 Intro"
Charlamagne Tha God giving Future his flowers provides the intro for disc No. 2. The brash radio personality credits Pluto’s influence with rappers imitating his style in and out of the booth. It’s unfair to compare this intro to the rest of the actual songs on the album.
24. "Insane Customers"
Future openly acknowledges his history of drug dealing, cleverly highlighting the transition from selling grams to receiving Grammy Awards. Metro, known for his meticulous approach, creates sound effects that evoke the feeling of scoring a suspenseful movie scene, with Future taking on the role of a jittery narrator in a police drug raid.
Future revisits his humble beginnings in the streets, highlighting the risks and struggles he faced before achieving success. He proudly boasts about his accomplishments, contrasting them with the challenges he overcame. Lil Baby's contribution, however, fails to make a significant impact on the overall album.
