Metro Boomin is paving the way in terms of what the world thought a “trap” producer was capable of. Think about it – in under a decade, he’s gone from an unknown producer working with (at the time) relatively unknown artists, to one of the most streamed artists of all time. Whatever you thought a producer probably couldn’t do, he has done.
Whether it’s headlining huge festivals, selling a part of his catalog for tens of millions, or working on the soundtrack for a huge blockbuster movie, Metro always overdelivers.
His new album, “METRO BOOMIN PRESENTS SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE”

That’s over 80 credits – granted, many writers are also performers etc, but easily over 50 people have worked on this album. I can’t begin to imagine what the budget must have been for this body of work.
The album spans a number of genres and styles, from cinematic, old school Hip-Hop like “Nas Morales”
To the very “Watch the Throne-esque” Am I Dreaming:
The album is comprised of 13 tracks and has a 47 minute runtime.
I’ll be honest, I haven’t seen the movie, but I don’t think that this takes away from the enjoyment of the album as a whole. It’s clear that their intentions with this album was to make music which is enjoyable irrespective of whether it’s accompanied by the film, and I enjoy that.
If you haven’t listened to it yet, METRO BOOMIN PRESENTS SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE is available on all major digital streaming platforms.
