Data Insight

Not All Heroes Wear Capes is a textbook producer-led album: Metro Boomin produced every track and his legal name, Leland Wayne, sits in every composer credit, but he wrote none of the lyrics. Those belong to the featured rappers and singers, who change from song to song while Metro is the one constant. The composer lists also pull in his co-producers and the writers of the songs he sampled, like 'Save the World' on the opener.

Not All Heroes Wear Capes is the debut studio album by Metro Boomin, released in November 2018 and the record that confirmed his arrival as a headline artist after years as one of rap's most in-demand producers. He produced the entire album and built it as a showcase for an all-star roster of guests, including Travis Scott, 21 Savage, Gunna, Swae Lee, Young Thug, Drake, and Offset. As is typical for a producer-led project, Metro wrote the music rather than the lyrics: his legal name, Leland Wayne, appears in the composer credit on every track while the rappers and singers wrote and performed the words. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and was certified platinum.
