Metrroooo!”: Young Thug & Metro Boomin Tease New Album Collaboration
The highly anticipated collaboration between two of rap’s biggest names.
The dynamic duo is back at it again! Young Thug and Metro Boomin have announced they’re working together on their highly anticipated third collaborative album. The news dropped on Sunday, January 19, via Metro Boomin’s Instagram, and fans are buzzing with excitement. While some may have doubted the pair would team up again, especially with rumors swirling about their past connections to Drake, Metro swiftly shut them down with a message: “Don’t believe everything you see online. Clout has made the world hold its breath. Back to work on the album @thuggerthugger1.”
The Internet Can’t Contain the Excitement
The announcement quickly sparked a flood of excitement from fans across social media, eager to hear what’s next from the legendary pair. One fan tweeted, “I can’t think of a better way for Thug to make his return,” while another added, “This WILL be one of the best albums of the year after Bully.” However, not everyone is entirely convinced—some fans expressed doubts based on Metro Boomin’s history of unfulfilled collaborations. One user pointed out, “Metro needs to stop confirming projects that never come out. He mentioned SM3, a project with Don Toliver, Durk, JID, Baby, and now Thug.”
But the truth is, Metro Boomin and Young Thug have always had chemistry in the studio. Their previous collaboration, Metro Thuggin’, released in 2015, was a fan favorite, featuring 20 tracks with appearances from Travis Scott, Meek Mill, and Future. Since then, fans have been eagerly awaiting the next chapter in their partnership.
More Than Just Another Album
This new project marks their third official collaboration, following up on their earlier successes. Even while Young Thug remains incarcerated, Metro Boomin and Future have continued to keep the music coming, with the release of their joint albums We Don’t Trust You and We Still Don’t Trust You in 2024. Despite being apart, Future and Drake have hinted at a possible reunion, with Drake expressing interest in reconciling multiple times.
Young Thug’s Return to Music
For Young Thug, this album isn’t just another project. Since his release in October, he’s been hard at work in the studio, collaborating with the likes of Lil Baby. In a recent interview, Lil Baby confirmed that the two have been creating music almost daily, saying, “We’ve been in the studio nearly every day since he came home, so we’ve got a lot of songs.” The duo has been working with Future as well, and Baby revealed that the idea for their collaborative project came from none other than Young Thug himself.
With all the buzz surrounding the new album, it’s clear that Young Thug and Metro Boomin are ready to deliver something special. The anticipation is growing as fans eagerly await the release of what’s sure to be another hit in their already legendary catalog. Will it be another chart-topping success? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure: this collaboration is going to be something worth the wait.
