Regarding his collaboration with Future, Metro Boomin has stated he was misquoted and that he never suggested it was the “ultimate” album.
The collaboration between Metro and King Pluto was first announced in December of last year. In response to a fan in early June, Metro tweeted that the project was “next up” now that the Spider-Verse soundtrack had been completed.
The fans enquired, “So now that the soundtrack is out… when’s the album with Future,” to which Metro responded, “Next up,” though he did not provide a release date.
Afterward, Complex spoke with Metro at his Heroes & Villains Pop-Up in New York City last week and naturally had to ask the renowned producer if he could provide any additional information on the impending album.
“The ultimate project right now is about to be the one with me and Future,” Complex alleged Metro. “My emphasis can shift to what me and Pluto have coming out now that Spider-Man is out and people are enjoying and connecting with it. I won’t take any action until it is completed.
The producer later denied saying this on Monday (June 19), taking to Twitter.
I never referred to the album by myself and Future as ‘the ultimate album,'” he wrote. “When asked what an ultimate song would sound like if I were to make one, I said that it would sound like the one Future and I were doing. We just let the work speak, which is why I don’t really do press or interviews very frequently.
In a prior interview with Ebro Darden, Metro discussed the project and claimed that the reason for the delay was simply their illustrious track record.
I am aware of the significance of this record from both of us, Metro remarked. “Given our track record, it’s crucial that we fulfill our commitments and make no mistakes. Because we’ve been doing it for more than ten years, working together is simple for me and him.
“Mask Off,” “Honest,” “Wicked,” “Where Ya At,” and “Jumpman” featuring Drake are a few of the songs the duo has previously worked on.
Heroes & Villains, Metro’s most recent full-length album, opened at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 185,000 album-equivalent sales in its first week, propelling it to the position. Taylor Swift’s Midnights was beaten out of the top place by Metro, which outsold the pop titan by more than 40,000 units.
