Future and Metro Boomin have once again joined forces, unveiling their latest collaborative effort, “WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU,” on April 12th. This release marks the follow-up to their previous project, “WE DON’T TRUST YOU,” which made waves upon its debut in March. The duo’s second installment boasts a total of 25 tracks, showcasing a diverse range of sounds, with a notable shift towards R&B elements compared to its predecessor.
While the album maintains its signature aggression, tracks like “Nobody Knows My Struggle” and “All My Life” demonstrate a softer, more introspective side to Future and Metro’s artistry. However, it was “Red Leather” and “Show of Hands” that caught the attention of listeners, featuring guest appearances from J. Cole and ASAP Rocky, respectively.
On “Red Leather,” J. Cole’s verses sparked speculation, seemingly addressing his recent exchange with Kendrick Lamar. Meanwhile, ASAP Rocky delivered pointed shots on “Show of Hands,” adding to the album’s dynamic range of lyrical content.
The success of “WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU” was solidified with its debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, amassing an impressive 251,000 album-equivalent units. This achievement marked Future’s ninth and Metro’s fourth chart-topping album in the United States, setting a new standard for opening week performance in 2024 in terms of units and streams.
The album’s predecessor, “WE DON’T TRUST YOU,” also made significant waves upon its release, featuring chart-topping collaborations with artists such as The Weeknd, Travis Scott, Playboi Carti, and Rick Ross. Notably, Kendrick Lamar’s appearance on “Like That” sparked controversy within the rap community, prompting responses from Drake and J. Cole.
As anticipation builds for “WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU,” fans eagerly await further revelations about potential featured artists. With Future and Metro Boomin at the helm, the sequel promises to deliver another compelling chapter in their collaborative journey.
