Metro Boomin ended 2022 with his highly praised album HEROES & VILLAINS, which was released in December.
In April 2022, his Atlanta colleague Future released his own album, I NEVER LIKED YOU. The two musicians have been regular collaborators in the past, but it had been a minute since fans heard them together until late last year.
The "Ric Flair Drip" producer clarified the schedule for his and Future's possible project in a new interview with Flaunt Magazine released Monday (March 6). When asked if there will be a collaboration between the two this year, he said: “Definitely. I would bet on it,” he said. “I would definitely bet on it.”
The revelation that the two are working about something emerges after Future invited Metro on stage at his January show at Atlanta's State Farm Arena. "Oh, That was fire," he recalled. "That's my brother, Pluto. We've been at it for a long time. This whole superhero moment, it’s like the beginning of our phase two.” The very same month, Future suggested that they were working together on creating "the album of the year" on his Instagram Stories.
In HEROES & VILLAINS, the duo collaborated for the first time in five years on songs like "Too Many Nights" and "Lock On Me." Metro was responsible for several of Future's greatest Billboard Hot 100 successes in the mid-2010s, including "Mask Off," "Jumpman," and "Thought It Was a Drought,” “Digital Dash,” “Low Life,” “Freak H**,” and “Big Rings.”
Metro addressed his disappearance from I NEVER LIKED YOU by saying he wants to save his passion with Future for a full-length Record.
“[Future] actually finished most of the album at my studio in LA,” he told Ebro Darden ahead of HEROES & VILLAINS‘ release. “That’s my brother, but we’re working on some things. At first, we were going to put a couple of songs with me and him on the album, but we had took them off because I had talked to him.”
“I was like, ‘Look, the last time anybody’s really heard a song from me and you was ‘Mask Off.’ So instead of us randomly throwing one or two songs we did on here, we got to wait and just give them a joint,'” he told the rapper. Future, for his part, signaled last month that he’s back in “album mode.”
