Metro Boomin Teases More New Music With The Weeknd On Way: “We Cooking Up”

Metro Boomin has already released two albums with Future and teased a third undisclosed project, but the fun doesn't stop there for the St. Louis native.

While in Egypt for a concert at the Great Pyramids of Giza in April, Spotify caught up with Young Metro where he revealed his plans for the year, which include more collaborations with The Weeknd, who are working on Dawn FM I follow.

“The songs we did with The Weeknd, my frequent collaborator, 'Low Life,' I think that was the beginning of our journey so far,” he said while reflecting on their first collaboration with Future that appeared on Pluto's 2106. EVOL album (“Low Life” reached No. 16 on the Hot 100). “Where it was with Future, so I feel like it was just a full-circle moment.”

He continued: “To appear between the two albums like four times. This is big. You know, this is family. He and I work on a lot of things. You know, we're cooking for his new album. I know a lot of people will be really happy and even happier.”

The Weeknd's signature falsetto was sprinkled throughout Metro and Future's We Don't Trust You and We Still Don't Trust You album, both of which topped the Billboard 200.

“I really took it personally, in the last couple of years, seeing different shops and people rushing—in hip-hop, saying hip-hop is dying, hip-hop is it, it's been a long time since there was a hip- hop. hop no. 1,” Metro said Billboard Arabia earlier in May. “Just trying to describe all of this hip-hop is a dying narrative at the same time it's trying to celebrate 50 years of hip-hop. I felt they were trying to wash away our species and culture. I'm still in the game and taking it personally. Those things bothered me, at the same time, they were the kind of fuel I needed.”

Metro Boomin headed to the Middle East to rock the Great Pyramids of Kundalini with a two-hour set for perhaps the most unique concert he's ever played, and it all went down in Egypt on April 30th.

“I've always wanted to see this [the pyramids] with my own eyes, but I could never fathom doing a show and playing in front of something as crazy and legendary and storied as this,” Metro said. “I'm grateful for everyone, for the whole country.”

It's been over two years since The Weeknd's Dawn FM album — which reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200 — and it sounds like he's back in album mode, and there could be more heat undercover from Abel and Metro.
