Both JID and Metro Boomin dropped hit albums in 2022. JID released his third LP, The Forever Story, in August of last year, while Metro Boomin’s sophomore solo full-length, HEROES & VILLAINS, arrived in December. Yesterday (March 28), Metro took to Twitter to post a photo with JID and hinted that they were cooking up something together.
“Got a lot of new music coming but when me and [JID] drop,” he wrote with several fire emojis and a spiral-eyes emoji. JID, in response, shared his gratitude for being able to join forces with the Grammy-nominated producer. “I love working with you, brudda,” he wrote. “It’s an honor.” Metro reciprocated the love, tweeting, “Honor is mine, family.” Check out the exchange below.
