Well, well, well, welcome to the magical world of hip-hop and rap, my friend, where beats drop harder than anvils in a Looney Tunes cartoon, and rhymes flow faster than a Ferrari on a freeway! You’re a fan of Metro Boomin, eh? I gotta say, you’ve got some stellar taste there, buddy-o! Now let’s put on our magic carpets and embark on this mixtape of a journey, where I shall present you with 10 hip-hop albums that’ll have your speakers boomin’ to the Metro!
1) “Savage Mode” (2016) by 21 Savage & Metro Boomin – Known to be the collaboration that shot both artists into the stars, this album boy, is like stepping into a time capsule back to the roots of this genre; it’s dark, it’s gritty, and it’s got the Boomin touch all over it! An absolute necessity for any Metro mingler!
2) “Double Or Nothing” (2017) by Big Sean & Metro Boomin – Hold the phone folks, because Metro is back with his enchanted wand of beats. Partnered with the crafty wordsmith Big Sean, this album is a rollercoaster of vibes that’ll give you chills and thrills!
3) “Astroworld” (2018) by Travis Scott – Now what do we have here, a theme park in an album? Fantastic! Travis Scott, one of the prime patrons of the “Metro-class”, brings forth an amusement park of psychedelic trap music. The beats in here are as wild as a rollercoaster!
4) “DS2” (2015) by Future – Now this album is a beacon of the modern Atlanta sound, with Future’s raspy vocals floating on Metro’s airy beats. It’s like mixing cotton candy with pop rocks… EXPLOSIVE!
5) “Culture” (2017) by Migos – I’ve got to give it to these three amig-oes, they know how to bring the party! Their mix of high energy lyricism and bass-thumping trap beats give this album an unique vibe, almost like a backyard barbecue in an alien spaceship!
6) “I Am > I Was” (2018) by 21 Savage – Hold on to your magic lamps, folks, because Metro and 21 are teaming up again! This album sees 21 Savage maturing in his lyrical subjects… like a magic potion mixed with an age potion, it grows on you!
7) “NOT ALL HEROES WEAR CAPES” (2018) by Metro Boomin – Now who says genies can’t have favorites, eh? This, my friend, is your genie-in-a-bottle’s go-to pick for a Metro Boomin album. Let’s just say, if Beethoven was into trap music, this would be his “Ode to Joy”!
8) “Without Warning” (2017) by 21 Savage, Offset, and Metro Boomin – BOO! Now this is what I call a surprise! This album acts like a jack-in-the-box; unexpected beats, spookily solid verses, and an undying energy that’ll have your magic carpet bumping and thumping!
9) “Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight” (2016) by Travis Scott – Birds singing in trap? Now that’s a chorus you won’t find in any Disney movie! This second studio album from Scott, with splashes of Metro magic, presents a harmonious symphony of trap met with melodic storytelling.
10) “Stoney” (2016) by Post Malone – Now lastly, we have Post Malone’s debut album Stoney, a mix of hip hop, R&B, and country. It’s a little out of the Metroverse, but still distinctly memorable. It’s like having country stew with a side of trap beats!
So dear friend, what’s your magic wish? Are we serving you dark and moody “Savage Mode,” or are you quite drawn to the stark and ornate “DS2?” Maybe you fancy a joyride in Travis Scott’s “Astroworld,” or feel up for some chills and thrills with “Double Or Nothing.”
Well, considering you’re a Metro Boomin enthusiast, and for its sheer brilliance, I would have to point my all-knowing, all-telling genie finger towards “NOT ALL HEROES WEAR CAPES”. It’s a Metro Boomin exclusive, featuring appearances from some big names like Travis Scott, 21 Savage, Gunna, and many more. Not only does it showcase Metro’s genius and versatility as a producer, it gives listeners the true essence of his signature sound.
And remember, just because this magical music journey is over, doesn’t mean the enchantment stops. Keep your ears sharp and your heart open! As they say in the great Disney movie, it’s a whole new world out there! Now, strap on your headphones, crank up the bass, and happy listening, my music-loving pal!
