Summary: The second full-length studio release for rapper Metro Boomin features guest appearances from 21 Savage, Chris Brown, Future, Mustafa, Travis Scott, and Young Nudy.
Genre(s): Rap
Metro is great when he makes Metro-type beats, shaky when he ventures outside of his comfort zone. On Heroes & Villains, he surpasses his standard quota of bangers while also taking a few fun risks.
As a concept album about good and evil, Heroes & Villains mostly delivers. It's not very ambitious as far as subject matter goes, but the majority of the guests, whose appearances never feel obligatory, at least cursorily touch on the central theme. ... To this end, Metro seems more like an orchestrator or curator. Unlike Khaled, however, Metro aims for a unified sound, and damned if he doesn't achieve it.
'HEROES & VILLAINS' bursts with ideas, not all of which land. A record that revels in contradictions, it grasps towards the light while framing itself in darkness.
Heroes & Villains is entertaining enough as a man's, man's, man's world. It's better conceptualized and executed than Only Heroes Wear Capes, even if 21 Savage can't quite match the ASMR pleasures of that album's "Don't Come Out the House."
Heroes & Villains is the worthy and meticulously assembled sequel to Not All Heroes Wear Capes.

Run of the mill rap that couldn't even be saved by its A list collaborators, stunning add campaign and it's titled artists genius. It doesn'tRun of the mill rap that couldn't even be saved by its A list collaborators, stunning add campaign and it's titled artists genius. It doesn't experiment as it did on his prior records and is just a compilation of chart seeking potential hits drenched in testosterone and disenchantment… Expand
