Metro Boomin Teases Joint Project with Zaytoven

Metro Boomin has had a pretty solid year and is a contender for Best Rap Album GRAMMY for HEROES & VILLAINS.

But he’s looking to continue his streak into the new year it seems. On Tuesday night, the successful producer teased a concept joint album with Zaytoven after getting excited with the way the two had been working lately on new sounds.

Kendrick Lamar Shakes Up The Super Bowl With Bold Drake Diss And Surprise Guests

Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl 59 halftime performance was nothing short of legendary, leaving fans buzzing with surprise cameos and bold moments that took his long-running feud with Drake to new heights. Kicking off with an unreleased song snippet and followed by “Squabble Up” from his latest album GNX, Kendrick immediately set the tone for a game-changing performance. Fans eagerly waited to see if Kendrick would play his diss track Not Like Us, especially with Drake's ongoing lawsuit against him and his label for defamation and harassment. Lamar's performance included an unexpected appearance by SZA and a quirky cameo from Serena Williams, along with Samuel L. Jackson’s comedic interruptions, all building the suspense around the Drake drama. In the middle of his performance, Kendrick turned up the heat, looking straight into the camera and directly addressing Drake with his famous lyrics, “I heard you like them young," as fans held their breath. Despite the tension, Kendrick censored himself when it came time to call Drake a "certified lover boy" and avoided saying “pedophile,” which had been widely speculated. Social media lit up with mixed reactions, with some fans mocking the performance as a "mid mashup" and others noting the intense hostility toward Drake. With the hashtag #KendrickBowl trending, it’s clear that Kendrick’s performance was a cultural moment that pushed boundaries—but has he gone too far, or is this just another chapter in hip-hop history? Only time will tell, and Drake has yet to respond.

“Me and [Zaytoven] probably got 100 beats by now. I got on here to ask you guys what artist should we do a tape with first, but now I’m thinking maybe it should be a compilation tape of various artists over these masterpieces!” Metro wrote while sharing a screenshot of text messages with Zay. “The sound of these beats me and [Zaytoven] make together are so unique, like nothing my ears have ever heard before. I think we need a name as a production duo… Any ideas?”

A few names came up from fans and of course, Future was included in the list. Metro replied to one such fan saying that the duo already has production work on the forthcoming album between Metro and Future. “Got plenty on the album already,” he said.
