Data Insight

Without Warning is a three-way collaboration, so the lyricist column moves with the lineup: 21 Savage and Offset each wrote their own verses, joined by featured rappers Travis Scott and Quavo on their songs. Metro Boomin produced every track and is a credited primary artist, so his legal name Leland Wayne sits in the composer column on all of them, beside Shéyaa Bin Abraham-Joseph, Kiari Cephus for Offset, and the additional producers.

Without Warning is a collaborative studio album by 21 Savage, Offset, and Metro Boomin, released on Halloween 2017 through Slaughter Gang Entertainment. Metro Boomin produced the entire record, building a dark, horror-tinged set of trap beats that the two rappers trade across, sometimes solo and sometimes together. 21 Savage appears on most of the album, including the singles 'Ghostface Killers' with Travis Scott and 'Rap Saved Me' with Quavo, while 'Ric Flair Drip' became a multi-platinum hit for Offset and Metro Boomin. The three are credited as co-headliners, and the composer credits add Metro Boomin and the additional producers alongside the rappers.
