Data Insight
Heroes & Villains keeps the producer-author split of Metro Boomin's debut intact: he produced every track and his legal name, Leland Wayne, leads each composer credit, while the lyrics belong to a rotating cast of star guests. The composer columns swell on sample-heavy tracks like 'Superhero,' which pulls in the writers of Kanye West's 'So Appalled,' and 'Creepin',' a partial cover that credits the writers of Mario Winans' 'I Don't Wanna Know.'
Heroes & Villains is the second studio album by Metro Boomin, released in December 2022 and built around a comic-book hero-and-villain concept. Metro produced the whole record and stacked it with marquee guests, including Future, Travis Scott, 21 Savage, the Weeknd, Young Thug, John Legend, Don Toliver, ASAP Rocky, and Gunna. As on his debut, the authorship is split cleanly: Metro wrote and produced the music, credited under his legal name Leland Wayne, while the rappers and singers wrote the lyrics they perform. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, and its single 'Creepin'' with the Weeknd and 21 Savage became one of the biggest hits of his career. It is certified double platinum.
