In the realm where sonic artistry meets visual grandeur, a triumvirate of titans – Future, Metro Boomin, and The Weeknd – have conspired to ignite a blaze that scorches the boundaries of creativity. Their latest offering, the “Young Metro” visual, is a testament to the inextricable bond forged between these luminaries, a bond that traces its origins back to the formative days of their respective careers.
Metro Boomin, the beatsmith extraordinaire, recounted the serendipitous beginnings of his alliance with Future during a candid interview with Red Bull Music Academy. His narrative unfolded like a well-crafted verse, revealing how a fortuitous exchange of beats with his comrade Propain set the wheels in motion. Among those instrumental gems was the now-iconic “Karate Chop,” which would become a cornerstone in Future’s discography.
From those humble beginnings, a bond was forged – one that would transcend mere collaboration and evolve into a brotherhood of shared vision and unwavering artistic kinship.
Unleashing the Behemoth: “WE DON’T TRUST YOU” and Its Colossal Impact
As the embers of their partnership glowed brighter, Future and Metro Boomin channeled their synergy into a magnum opus – the colossal “WE DON’T TRUST YOU.” This seismic release, comprising a staggering 17 tracks, reverberated through the music cosmos like a supernova, its shockwaves amplified by the star power of heavyweights like Travis Scott, Rick Ross, Playboi Carti, and the inimitable Kendrick Lamar.
According to the prophetic whispers of Hits Daily Double, this audacious offering is poised to amass a staggering 190,000 to 220,000 album-equivalent units during its debut week, a testament to the insatiable appetite of fans for the sonic sustenance served by this dynamic duo.
But the story doesn’t end there. Like a cosmic echo, a sequel – “WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU” – is already on the horizon, slated for an April 12 release, promising to further solidify Future and Metro Boomin’s dominance over the musical stratosphere.
The Weeknd’s Cameo: A Celestial Convergence
Amidst this celestial convergence of talent, a supernova of his own – The Weeknd – was destined to make a grand entrance. His appearance on the track “Young Metro,” a standout from the “WE DON’T TRUST YOU” opus, was a cosmic event in itself, his boastful chorus serving as the gravitational force that anchored the entire composition.
The Weeknd’s cameo, shrouded in mystique with a bandana obscuring his visage, added an enigmatic allure to the already electrifying visual spectacle.

Rich The Kid, the Atlanta-based rap luminary, has been undeniably making waves in the music industry for years. From his groundbreaking hits like “New Freezer” and “Plug Walk” that helped set the stage for the dab dance trend, to his relentless commitment to honing his craft, Rich has proven time and again that he’s far from finished.
The Unabated Journey of Rich The Kid
It’s not uncommon to hear critiques about his perceived lack of musical output. But, as Rich himself asserts, he’s always been diligently working on his craft and refining his sound. People who believe he’s been slacking simply don’t understand his process.
“A lot of people be like, ‘Damn, your ass has not been putting out music’ or some shit like that,” he tells Complex. “But the whole time, I’ve just been perfecting the craft, perfecting my sound. I’m always working, so motherfuckers who don’t think I’m working, you’re wrong.”
His last solo album, “Boss Man“, was released nearly four years ago, followed by “Trust Fund Babies” with Lil Wayne, which came out about two and a half years ago. Nevertheless, Rich The Kid has caught a fresh gust of wind lately, hitting the zenith of his career with his first-ever No. 1 song, “Carnival,” a phenomenal collaboration with Ye, Ty Dolla Sign, and Playboi Carti.
Upcoming Album: “Life’s a Gamble”
Now, Rich is gearing up for the release of his new album, titled “Life’s a Gamble“. The title choice was instinctive, reflecting his lifelong habit of betting on himself. This self-belief has been a driving force throughout his career, from the days when he spent every dime to promote his music with CDs and flyers, to his more recent ventures.
He recalls those early days with a sense of wonder. “It still sounds insane to me now, but those early grinding habits came full circle,” he asserts. His determination and self-belief were put to the test when he had to embark on a flight followed by a grueling hour-and-a-half taxi ride to a resort in Saudi Arabia. He was there to work with Ye and Ty Dolla Sign on their joint album, “Vultures“. His decision to go, despite the challenges, was in line with Ye’s own words, “Name one genius that ain’t crazy.”
Rich The Kid on “Carnival”
“Carnival,” the chart-topping track from “Vultures“, is a testament to Rich’s unyielding work ethic and his knack for recognizing a hit. Just a few weeks after their recording sessions in Saudi Arabia, Ty reached out to Rich to decide which of their two songs would best fit the “Vultures” album.
“I instantly was like, ‘Oh yeah, ‘Carnival’ is one,’” Rich remembers. “It’s got the energy. When I first heard the beat, I already knew it was a new sound. I was already ready for it.”
“Carnival” has since become a massive success, igniting stadiums with its anthemic energy. For Rich, the track’s success is a source of pride, and he doesn’t take kindly to suggestions that it was merely a stroke of luck.
“I kind of felt a way about that because I made this song, we made this song. I went in the booth, I recorded it—I didn’t write it down, I freestyled it—and we made magic. And now you’re talking about I’m lucky, like the words didn’t come out of my mouth, like I ain’t say it. How the fuck am I lucky? I chose the beat. It was like, get off my dick.”
The Road to “Life’s a Gamble”
As Rich gears up for the release of “Life’s a Gamble“, he’s chosen to collaborate with Ye once more. After “Carnival” clinched the No. 1 spot, Ye reached out to Rich, expressing his interest in executive producing the project alongside Ty. Since then, they have been in the studio, working day in and day out to perfect the sound.
Most of the album was already in place before Ye came aboard, but with his involvement, they have been reworking and refining the tracks. This approach is a stark contrast to Rich’s studio sessions with Lil Wayne for “Trust Fund Babies“, where they focused on churning out tracks. With Ye, the process is more nuanced and focused on perfecting each element.
Despite the controversy surrounding Ye in recent times, Rich was undeterred. He’s always been about the music and doing what’s best for the sound. His unwavering commitment to his craft and the desire to make music history are what drive him.
“For one, it’s Ye and it’s the music. I’m just focused on the music and doing what’s the best for the sound. Making history, music, and stamping what we’ve been doing now.”
Looking Forward
Rich The Kid’s journey is a testament to hard work, relentless self-belief, and the determination to forge his own path in the music industry. With the upcoming release of “Life’s a Gamble“, fans and critics alike are eager to see what Rich has in store. One thing is for sure, he’s not slowing down anytime soon.
The music scene witnessed an exhilarating spectacle as Travis Scott, the mastermind behind the chart-topping album Utopia, burst onto the stage at the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The high-octane performance included a relentless, 14-minute long showcase of the crowd-pleaser, “FE!N,” not just once, but a whopping ten times.
A Night to Remember
The atmosphere was electric as Scott took to the stage on Saturday, delivering the Playboi Carti-assisted track “FE!N” as part of his Circus Maximus Tour. Despite the absence of Carti, Scott and his tour DJ Chase B kept the energy levels at an all-time high, encouraging friendly competition between the two sides of the BOK Center.
“The energy was palpable. Scott had the crowd in the palm of his hand, and everyone was on their feet, singing along to “FE!N” on loop. It was a sight to behold.” – Concert Attendee
An Unexpected Surprise
However, it wasn’t just the repeated rendition of “FE!N” that had the crowd buzzing. Earlier this month, Scott had treated his Los Angeles audience to a surprise appearance by none other than the Whole Lotta Red rapper himself, Playboi Carti.
In LA, Scott’s adorable five-year-old daughter, Stormi Webster, also shared the limelight as he performed “Mafia.” The tender moment was a heartwarming contrast to the high-energy performance that characterized the rest of the evening.
The Music and Beyond
Scott’s music isn’t just about catchy beats and infectious energy. It has always been a reflection of his life experiences and the things that matter to him. His recent interview with GQ revealed how deeply he was affected by the tragic Astroworld Festival crowd crush that occurred two years ago.
“Making music, you think about things that go on in life and things that happen in your life, and you dial in on things. That moment for families, for the city, you know, it was devastating,” he confessed.
Chart-topping Success
Despite the tragedies and controversies, Scott’s music continues to resonate with audiences worldwide. “FE!N,” which also features Sheck Wes, climbed to No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking Scott’s 14th top-ten single. Meanwhile, Utopia, Scott’s fourth studio album, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, the second rap album of the year to achieve this feat, following Lil Uzi Vert’s Pink Tape.
To Sum it Up
This unforgettable night in Tulsa was a testament to Travis Scott’s immense talent and his unwavering connection with his fans. Despite the roller-coaster ride that his career has been, with soaring highs and devastating lows, Scott continues to make music that speaks to and moves the masses, one electrifying performance at a time.
