His 2022 album HEROES & VILLAINS was nominated for best rap album of the year at the Grammys. The producer’s 2023 Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse movie soundtrack was the sound of the summer with songs like “Self Love” with Coi Leray topping the charts.  This year, Metro Boomin reunites with long-time collaborator Future.

Might Delete Later Album Review: J Cole Adds Fuel To The Flames On His Surprise Album By Dylan Barbee Courtesy of @realcoleworld on Instagram  Release Date: April 5, 2024 When the rap scene least expected it, J Cole dropped a surprise album just when it needed it most.  The 12-song project, “Might Delete Later,” was released just two weeks after Future, Metro Boomin and Kendrick Lamar took shots at J Cole and Drake on the collaboration album “We Don’t Trust You.” Cole’s “Might Delete Later” further fuels the fire, as the Charlotte veteran fills most of the project’s songs with minor disses and decently thought-out responses.  “Might Delete Later,” begins with a lowkey rap production scheme on songs like “Pricey” (featuring Ari Lennox, Young Dro and Gucci Mane) and “Crocodile Tearz”. J Cole’s lyricism aggressively suggests he yearns to be crowned king of hip-hop’s big three. “Yes, sir, it’s me, not two, not three the uno, G-O-A-T, I need my fee, fuck kudos,” Cole raps on Crocodile Tear
