Rolling Loud California concluded on a high note with an electrifying performance by Future and Metro Boomin. Travis Scott, Quavo, and Don Toliver treated festival-goers to special appearances, and three new tracks from the duo’s upcoming album, “We Don’t Trust You,” were debuted.
The setlist featured fan favorites like “F*ck Up Some Commas” and “Thought It Was A Drought,” igniting the crowd with non-stop energy. Future and Metro Boomin delivered a scorching performance, culminating in the classic hit “Mask Off.”
Adding to the excitement, the duo debuted an unreleased song titled “Cinderella,” leaving fans eager for more. Their electrifying set showcased their undeniable chemistry and left a lasting impression on Rolling Loud attendees.
Earlier this month, Future and Metro Boomin officially announced their latest collaboration. The two albums are announced in a trailer where the two ride twin Rolls Royce trucks into the desert.
The first is We Don’t Trust You, released on March 22. A second album will then be released on April 12.
On Instagram, Metro Boomin delivered a simple statement: “Great things come to those who wait.”
Metro Boomin, who was nominated for Producer Of The Year, Non-Classical at the 2024 Grammys and has promised to drop three albums in 2024 “at the very least,” first posted another trailer across his socials alongside the message, “Revenge season starts in 9 days #WeDontTrustYou.” Then, on X (formerly Twitter), Metro posted a few cryptic teasers regarding the We Don’t Trust You tracklist.
Are There Features On Metro Boomin & Future’s We Don’t Trust You Album?
There is not a clear-cut answer to this — yet. It’s up for interpretation, which is probably just as Future and Metro Boomin want it. The first of Metro’s X posts showed him and Future in what appears to be the same desert from the initial We Don’t Trust You trailer. “#nofeatures #wedonttrustyou,” Metro wrote.
So, no features, right? Well, an hour-ish later, Metro posted again: “#TYPESH*T @1future @trvisXX @playboicarti #wedonttrustyou.” That seems to indicate that there will be a single called “Type Sh*t” featuring Playboi Carti and Travis Scott. Carti confirmed his feature on Instagram, as captured by Complex. Carti also posted a video to his Instagram Story showing him (or someone) driving around blasting a snippet of what we can only assume is “Type Sh*t” because Carti wrote atop the video, “@metroboomin @travisscott @future TYPE SH*T.”

The weather is getting warmer and warmer and we’re just days away from the official start of spring, which means that music festival season is about to be in full swing. Rolling Loud isn’t waiting for any of that though, as its first festival of the year is set to kick off in just a few days. Rolling Loud California will take over Inglewood from March 14-17 and bring big names to its stage like Nicki Minaj, Kanye West, Ty Dolla Sign, Post Malone, Future, Metro Boomin, and many more.
There’s a long list of artists who will perform during Rolling Loud California’s festival which will make it a bit of a task for attendees who have multiple artists they want to see. Fear not though, as we have the official set times for all artists who are currently set to perform at Rolling Loud California. Scroll down to check out that list.
Set times for Rolling Loud California 2024 are tentative and subject to possible change.
The arrival of spring doesn’t just mean the awakening of nature (and the loss of an hour of sleep), it also brings the recording industry back to life. While the early months of Q1 can generally be a little sleepy — with a few exceptions, of course — as the weather creeps back toward the warmth of the summer, we can expect more new releases from some of the biggest names in music.
These days, it can be a little tricky to anticipate which artists are aiming for a spring release, though. Album release cycles have gotten shorter and shorter, and in hip-hop especially, new projects can fall out of the sky with little to no warning. With that said, we’re going to do our best to run through the most anticipated hip-hop releases of the season, under the assumption that most if not all of the artists named here would like a dominant run thoughout the summer — or at least, some new material for the festivals. Let’s start with the ones we know:
March 2024 Hip-Hop Releases
March 14: Kenny Mason — 9
Atlanta rapper Kenny Mason is easily one of the hottest names simmering just under the radar thanks to his distinctive, grungy style and high-profile co-signs from the likes of Denzel Curry, Freddie Gibbs, and JID. 9 will be his second album after 2020’s Angelic Hoodrat. He just released a pair of singles that suggest his unique blend of shoegaze, grunge rock, and screamo-rap is primed for its next evolution.
March 15: Tierra Whack — World Wide Whack
Fans of the Philly battle rapper turned whimsical mad scientist have been waiting for a proper album for going on six years now. Her 2018 EP Whack World introduced listeners to a fantastical approach toward genre and subject matter that established Whack as one of the most intriguing names in hip-hop, and her debut album — which she announced this January — will give her the opportunity to expand on that foundation.
March 22: Future & Metro Boomin — We Don’t Trust You
It’s only been two months and some change and already a pattern is beginning to develop. If you’re going to release an album fans have been waiting for for years, it seems, you might as well turn it into multiple projects with release dates scattered across months. Kanye (sorta) did it, and now, Metro Boomin and Future are following in his footsteps, announcing that their heavily anticipated joint album will be released in two parts. The first arrives in March.
March 29: Rico Nasty & Boys Noize — HVRDC0RE DR3AMZ
On Leap Day, Rico Nasty announced that her ongoing chemistry with German DJ Boys Noize would bear another new fruit in the form of a joint EP. After teaming up on “Girl Crush” and “Money,” two of Rico’s more intriguing songs of the past few years, it’ll be fascinating to see her step more into her collaborator’s world on the EP, following a number of peers in blending hip-hop with various styles of EDM.
April 2024 Hip-Hop Releases
April 12: Future & Metro Broomin — We Still Don’t Trust You
The second of Future and Metro’s collaborations will arrive just two weeks after the first, an impressive turnaround time that has paid dividends for the Atlanta rapper in the past. Future’s 2017 albums Future and Hndrxx were released just a week apart and both halves of the pair went No. 1, while the first spawned the massive hit “Mask Off” — which was, of course, produced by Metro Boomin. Their creative chemistry is certainly something to look forward to.
April 26: AG Club – BRODIE WORLD
The Northern California rap clique shook up the world in 2020 with the release of their breakout hit “Memphis,” and has kept up a steady stream of releases ever since. With each, they grow a little more polished and a little more experimental, growing into their group name (Avant Garde Club) a little more. BRODIE WORLD will be their first proper release since 2022’s Imposter Syndrome, which is exciting because there’s a lot of growth that can happen in two years.
2024 Hip-Hop Albums Release TBA
Here’s where we start speculating. A large number of rap’s biggest names are set to release albums this year, many of whom will be returning from multi-year hiatuses, making the products of their time away all the more tantalizing. Below are just a few.
ASAP Rocky — Don’t Be Dumb
Rocky’s last album was 2018’s Testing. That’s a long time to go without hearing a new full collection of music from the haute couture Harlemite, who’s been busy with fatherhood (and some ill-timed legal trouble). His album has supposedly been done since 2022, so it’s only a matter of time until he gives listeners a release date; here’s hoping it’s sooner rather than later.
Baby Keem — Child With Wolves
Baby Keem made a huge splash in 2021 with his electrifying debut The Melodic Blue, and recently began teasing a new era after releasing the album’s companion film late last year.
Cardi B — TBA
Let’s say Cardi finally kicks her rollout into high gear after releasing two singles in six months, “Bongos” and “Like What,” and teasing another. It seems she keeps dipping her toe back into an album cycle, but a mean case of imposter syndrome combined with impossibly high standards has made determining if she’s really shooting her shot or just pump-faking again almost impossible to determine. She’s fortunate to be one of the few artists who can keep getting away with this pretty much indefinitely, but I’d like to hope she’s accepted the fear of potential failure and just goes for it. (Or pulls a Kendrick Lamar in 2014 and goes full avant-garde with it, scaring the hoes and making herself pretty much untouchable for the foreseeable future.)
Flo Milli — Fine Ho, Stay
Announced in October 2023, Flo Milli’s second album has the potential to turn her into a household name — especially with the ongoing and growing success of its single “Never Lose Me.” If she wants to strike while the iron is hot, a spring release might be her best bet to maintain momentum.
GloRilla — TBA
Big Glo has a lot of buzz around her name right now, both for her hard-hitting new single “Yeah Glo!” and an oopsie moment on Instagram thanks to her unfamiliarity with her new endowments. Might as well capitalize ahead of the summer, right?
Ice Spice — Y2K
TikTok star and current rap it-girl Ice Spice has been sneakily rolling out her debut album over the past few months, beginning with flying a flag at her label headquarters, dropping another catchy single, and announcing that her album is finished recording. There’s no time like the present, and with her penchant for dropping summertime-dominating tracks, an April or May release would give her plenty of lead time to once again take over the hottest months.
J. Cole — The Fall Off
The only other rapper whose album has been consistently sought after since 2018 (mostly by his own design), J. Cole could overtake friendly rivals Drake and Kendrick Lamar in the conversation if he manages to beat them both to market this year.
Rapsody — TBA
Poor Rapsody. If you happen to follow the North Carolina rapper on social media, you’ve probably seen her repost the near-constant stream of pleas from fans for a follow-up to 2019’s Eve. She’s been promising an announcement is coming imminently, and considering the curtailed album cycles of the current climate, if she does make that announcement in the next few weeks or months, that would almost certainly mean an album is following relatively quickly after.
Some artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
Future and Metro Boomin have officially announced their latest collaboration. The two albums are announced in a trailer in which the two ride twin Rolls Royce trucks into the desert.
The first is We Don’t Trust You, which will be released on March 22. A second album will then be released on April 12.
On Instagram, Metro Boomin delivered a simple statement: “Great things come to those who wait.”
Future and Metro Boomin previously teased that they would have a joint album on the way. Now, the two rappers have officially announced that they are going to have two new ones in store for fans.
The duo’s first album in the series is titled We Don’t Trust You and will drop later this month on March 22. The second, which is currently still untitled, arrives shortly after that on Friday, April 12.
To build even more anticipation for the two records, Future and Metro Boomin released a trailer. In it, they drive through the desert in luxurious white cars, while a voice (reportedly Prodigy) narrates saying there are “a lot of garbage-ass f*cking rappers out here running around” and that “this game is meant for a select few.” There’s also a light piano that plays under the voiceover, which could very well be an instrumental from one of their upcoming songs.
While this will mark their first full joint album, as long as the second, it is far from their first time working together. Metro Boomin produced for Future’s songs including “Mask Off,” while the latter joined Metro’s Heroes & Villains album in 2022 for more collabs.
Check out Future and Metro Boomin’s trailer for their upcoming albums above.
We Don’t Trust You is out 3/22. Find more information here.
With several billions of streams to his name, Metro Boomin has quickly become a household name. Even if you don’t recognize the musician from his notable collaborations (Future, Post Malone, Young Thug, etc.) or his impressive film soundtrack work, most can immediately identify his producer tag.
One fan has taken some creativity liberties with his infamous “If Young Metro don’t trust you, I’m gonna shoot you” line. In a resurfaced viral video captioned: “If Young Metro don’t trust you, it ain’t good coochie,” a woman named Fifa performed a smell check on her lady parts. As she removed her fingers from her private area, she gestured toward Metro for his final approval.
Well, Metro didn’t enjoy that clip being shared on X (formerly Twitter). He clapped back with a message for the initial uploader. “U so lame enjoy the clout,” he wrote.
Seeing nothing wrong with the video, Fifa replied to Metro. “N****, you know it was just a joke/skit that you agreed to do,” she wrote. “This video went viral years ago. Your people [are] the one[s] who sent it to me.. .”
nigga you know it was just joke/skit that you agreed to do… this video went viral yrs ago ….. your ppl the one who sent it to me..
Given that the segment was recorded in the same area where food was being prepped and cooked, users online didn’t see any humor in the sketch. View a few of their response below.
Award-winning producer Metro Boomin and multi-platinum rapper Coi Leray unveil an exciting collaboration with leading men’s grooming brand, AXE…a brand new track.
The dynamic duo have joined forces to show the power that scent plays in deepening attraction with the release of “Enjoy Yourself”, exclusively available on YouTube.
The debut of the track coincides with the release of AXE’s new Black Vanilla scent, the latest in the Fine Fragrance Collection lineup that launched last year, and includes award-winning scents Blue Lavender and Green Geranium. The Black Vanilla fragrance is light and subtle, yet deliciously addictive for that moment where you want someone craving more.
Shannon Sharpe’s podcast Club Shay Shay is quickly becoming a go-to for hot takes and outrageous breakouts in the wake of its incendiary Katt Williams interview a few weeks ago. However, unlike Katt, Shay’s latest guest, 21 Savage, faced at least one challenge to one of his dubious claims from the peanut gallery. In fact, his own frequent collaborator, Metro Boomin, was the one to call him out, joking that “n****s sit on his couch and just feel like they can say anything. Look at this n**** just looking for a lie to tell.”
Fortunately for Savage and Metro’s continued working relationship, his “lie” appeared to be from the “little white” variety, as 21 boasted he won a spelling bee in fifth grade thanks to the word “supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.” Metro extended his roast with a caption reading, “You probably read 3000 books a year too huh @21savage.” 21 has admitted that his often violent lyrical narratives are exaggerations for literary effect, but it looks like Metro won’t let spelling be stolen valor fly.
