Metro Boomin has nothing but great things to say about The Weeknd and producer Mike Dean after hearing the superstar singer’s newest album, Hurry Up Tomorrow.
Hours after the album’s release at midnight ET on Friday (January 31), Metro took to X to heap high praise on the pair.
“only this n-gga Abel could drop album of the year in January lmao,” he wrote in his first post.
In a second, he added: “Mike Dean sitting high on that all time producer/composer list for sure.”

While Mike mixed and mastered the entire project as well as co-produced nearly all of the 24 songs, Metro also has a few production credits on the LP including “Cry For Me,” “Given Up On Me” and “The Abyss.”

Released after a slight delay due to the recent L.A. wildfires, the 22-track (plus two bonus songs) musical odyssey serves as the final installment in the Canadian singer’s trilogy following 2020’s After Hours and 2022’s Dawn FM (2022).

It might also be The Weeknd’s final release, period, having been billed as his last album under his stage name, a swan song to one of the defining acts of the last decade.
This bittersweet fact is referenced on the album itself, with the closing track “Hurry Up Tomorrow” ending in the same way that “High For This” — the opening song on his debut mixtape House of Balloons from 2011 — begins.
Played together, the two tracks flow seamlessly into each other, essentially brining The Weeknd’s 14-year career full circle.
“Last track on #HurryUpTomorrow transitioning to the first track The Weeknd ever made with High For This, absolutely insane,” remarked one fan in a viral post on X.

“The weeknd’s final transition into high for this was the perfect way to end the album,” another said of the sonic easter egg.
A third impressed fan gushed: “If you became a fan of The Weeknd in 2011-2014 the end of Hurry Up Tomorrow transitioning back into High For This HITS EXTRA DEEEEP.”
