On the heels of the explosive release of their highly anticipated collaborative album WE DON’T TRUST YOU, Future and Metro Boomin share the official music video for “Type Shift” with Travis Scott and Playboi Carti. Watch the official music video, directed by Gunner Stahl and LouieKnows, HERE. Get the album at all DSPs HERE.
WE DON’T TRUST YOU arrived over night as a celebration of the historic partnership of two culture-shifting legends at the peak of their powers, nearly breaking the internet in its wake. Full of their signature dynamic lyricism and forward-looking production, it boasts a who’s-who of some of the duo’s most trusted collaborators. Additionally, the late, legendary Prodigy of Mobb Deep can be heard throughout the album as the featured voice throughout the skits. See track list below.
Just this past weekend, the long-time collaborators performed a career-spanning set of non-stop hits at Rolling Loud California, the festival’s most talked about and hyped moment.
The duo will next release a second collaborative project on April 12, 2024, and listeners around the world are bracing for impact—two LPs’ worth of Metro’s sinister cinematic soundscapes and Future’s irresistible demon musicality. These projects are a culmination of rap’s most fruitful partnership. Since meeting when Metro was only 17 years old, Hendrix and Metro have penetrated the streets and the pop culture consciousness with engrossing hustler theme songs — stylish anthems that resonate everywhere from the block and beyond.
Most recently, the two connected on Metro’s 2022 album, Heroes & Villains, an all-star LP that flaunted both Metro’s imagination and instinctive flair for the theatrical. Grafting his narcotized trapper hymns onto tracks like “Superhero (Heroes & Villains)” and “Too Many Nights” with Don Toliver, Future reaffirmed his preternatural chemistry with Metro, a synergy that can only come from years in the studio and a hard-earned mastery of their respective crafts.
For his part, Future has been the face of Atlanta hip-hop since the early 2010s, working with icons like Beyoncé and Rihanna on his way to collecting billions of streams and affirming his status as a rap immortal. His most recent album, 2022’s I Never Liked You,was certified platinum. Toiling away in his lair, Metro’s produced for everyone from 21 Savage to the Weeknd and Post Malone, earning a reputation as a shapeshifting dynamo with the prowess to adapt to the style of whichever artist he’s working with. Separately, the two have done incredible work for themselves and alongside other artists. But there’s no stronger creative bond than the one they forged with each other.
Future and Metro Boomin’s latest collaborations are a continuation of a musical legacy that dates back to “Karate Chop,” an electric 2013 single that birthed the most dynastic hip-hop duo of the 2010s. They’d fortify their connection with tracks like 2015’s “Jumpman” (with Drake) and 2017’s “Mask Off,” singles that have combined to be certified 14-times Platinum by the RIAA. As part of their partnership, Metro even turned a Future bar into an unmistakable producer tag: “If Young Metro don’t trust you I’m gon’ shoot you.”
Now, the duo will cement their legacy thus far and open a new chapter of their rap-conquering alliance with the arrival of the fittingly titled WE DON’T TRUST YOU. Take cover for that, and then again mere weeks later, on April 12, when Future and Metro do it again.
