Metro Boomin takes on both sides of good and evil in his newest album, HEROES & VILLAINS.

Clocking in at approximately 50 minutes, the 15-track project features heavy-hitting guest appearances from the likes of Future and Chris Brown on “Superhero (Heroes & Villains),” 21 Savage and Young Nudy on “Umbrella,” Travis Scott and 21 Savage on “Niagara Falls (Foot or 2),” A$AP Rocky and the late Takeoff on “Feel The Fiyaaaah,” The Weeknd and 21 Savage on “Creepin” and more. Across the album, Young Metro reminds listeners and the music industry just exactly why he’s one of the most sought-after producers today. The 29-year-old’s solo work seamlessly integrates with the collaborative cuts, and he knows how to match his work with his collaborators — not a single track on the album feels forced or out of place, allowing both Metro and his guest features to evenly shine.

HEROES & VILLAINS marks Metro’s first solo full-length effort since 2018’s Not All Heroes Wear Capes, which featured Gucci Mane, Travis Scott, 21 Savage, Swae Lee, Gunna, Young Thug, Wizkid, J. Balvin, Offset, Kodak Black and Drake and went on to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. He confirmed in an interview with Apple Music that the record is the second installment in a trilogy, but will see the “flow” of this record before revealing anymore info about the third and final project.
