The album contains guest appearances from the Weeknd, Travis Scott, Playboi Carti, Kendrick Lamar, and Rick Ross. Production was primarily handled by Metro himself, alongside Mike Dean, Oz, Southside, Boi-1da, Honorable C.N.O.T.E., Allen Ritter, Dre Moon, Zaytoven, Doughboy, Lil 88, Wheezy, G Koop, and others.[1][2][3][4]

It will be nominated for Best Rap Album at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards, with "Like That" being nominated at the Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song categories.

Background and promotion

[edit]

In January 2023, Metro was interviewed by radio personality Ebro Darden for the latter's Rap Life Radio radio show, in which he was asked why he did not produce any songs on Future's ninth studio album, I Never Liked You (2022), to which he explained that he wanted to save some songs that he produced for Future for a collaborative album.[6] In March 2023, Metro was interviewed by Flaunt Magazine, in which he promised that a collaborative album between him and Future would be released that same year, which did not end up happening for unknown reasons.[7] In August 2023, Metro shared via Twitter that he had lost three instrumentals meant for the album due to a power outage.[8] In January 2024, he tweeted that he would not cut or shave any of his hair until the album was completed and turned in.[9] On March 8, 2024, he and Future posted a trailer, which also featured a soundbite from the late American rapper Prodigy, in which they revealed the title We Don't Trust You and two release dates of March 22 and April 12.[10] On the same day, journalist Elliott Wilson confirmed that the title was the name of a collaborative album between the two artists and would be released on March 22 and also confirmed that a sequel collaborative album, which was later confirmed to be titled We Still Don't Trust You, would be released on April 12.[11]

In 2024, Future and Metro embarked on the We Trust You Tour in support of We Don't Trust You and its sequel.[12]

We Don't Trust You currently has a score of 64 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic based on seven critics' reviews, indicating "generally positive" reception.

Writing for Clash, Robin Murray noted that the album "never moves in a straight line" and that it "epitomises just why Future and Metro Boomin work together so seamlessly". Concluding his review, Murray wrote that "at times uneven, the project stands as testament to the unique bond between these two A-list rap talents".[18] Jesse Fuller, an independent musical critic, has praised the album for its dark production, Future's effortless flow on the beats, and its lyrical wizardry. HipHopDX's Scott Glaysher describes the album as a "modern rap gospel" and that the project "carries a different tone" from their past collaborations. However, Glaysher states that the album doesn't "live up to its full potential" due to the loss of interest in its final third. Concluding the review, he stated that the album "should have been shorter" despite the duo "consistently [delivering] high-quality tracks".[19] Writing for Slant Magazine, Charles Lyons-Bart gave the album a poor review. He criticizes Future's performance, noting that "Metro’s work is sometimes enough to carry a track" and that his delivery is often "clipped". Concluding his review, he writes that the album presents the downfall of Future, noting that he's "faded and almost lifeless" throughout the project.[20]

Rolling Stone's Mosi Reeves wrote that Metro Boomin "has embraced maximalist, cinematic gestures". All in all, the album is described as "solid but nothing special".[22] Writing for Variety, A.D. Amorosi writes that the album "doesn’t feel like a competition" despite "their signature strengths" being present on the album. Concluding his review, Amorosi notes that "Metro makes more of the duo’s first volume than Future does".[23] HotNewHipHop's Gabrial Bras Nevares rated the album as "HOTTTTT", writing that the project "champions above all else". He notes that despite the album not being a "perfect attempt", it displays "focus, new approaches, intent-driven artistry" and several "bangers". Concluding his review, he noted that the project could have been better, however, the sequel "will not fall victim to complacency".[21]
