Metro Boomin brought the Heroes & Villains experience to Coachella this past weekend. The St. Louis producer enlisted the help of Future, The Weeknd, Diddy, and more to deliver a powerful performance.
Friday’s (April 14) full slate of guests also included 21 Savage, Don Toliver, John Legend, and Mike Dean playing the piano. Together, the collective delivered classic records like “Thought It Was A Drought,” “Wicked,” “Digital Dash,” “Mask Off,” “Bank Account,” “10 Freaky Girls,” and “Knife Talk.”
Given the recent success of his latest album Heroes & Villains, it is no surprise he also performed “Superhero,” “Metro Spider,” “Can’t Save You,” and “Creepin.” At one point, The Weeknd performed an unreleased record that he previewed on social media earlier in the week. “Temperature rising, bodies united, now that I tried you in my arms. No need to fight it, no need to hide it, now that I’ve seen what’s in your heart,” Abel sang.
Heroes & Villains was released back in December 2022. Metro followed up with the “Heroes Version” of the album, which added 15 instrumentals to the LP’s original 15 tracks within a week of the original release. In February, OG Ron C and DJ Candlestick handled the “Villains Version” of the album, providing their beloved “ChoppedNotSlopped” treatment to the album.
Currently, “Creepin” featuring The Weeknd and 21 Savage, which is a modern cover of Mario Winans and Diddy’s “I Don’t Wanna Know,” is sitting at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart. Metro isn’t slowing down this year either, as he and JID confirmed they have a collaborative album coming soon, as well as another joint effort with Future.
