Metro Boomin doesn’t waste any time — at least when it comes to potential collaborations with some of his faves likes Paul Wall.
Less than two hours after first shouting out the Texas rapper on social media on Wednesday (December 27), Metro wrote on X that he “just sent @paulwallbaby some heaters.”

Everything began when Metro shared his love for Wall’s performance on the H-town rapper’s 2005 collaboration with Kanye West and GLC, “Drive Slow.” Metro called it “one of my all time favorite moments in music.”
He also recalled meeting Wall in 2017, and said Wall was “1 of the coolest guys you will ever meet.”

Wall noticed this attention, and responded, “big salute homie!!”
That was followed by Metro saying that he had just sent Wall 15 beats.

Paul Wall is not the only potential collaboration Metro has been talking about lately. One day prior to his comments about Wall, the producer teased a joint project with Zaytoven.
The Grammy nominated producer posted images of text messages between him and Zaytoven, revealing that they are collaborating on something together.

Metro wrote on X, formerly Twitter: “Me and @zaytovenbeatz probably got 100 [three flame emojis] beats by now. I got on here to ask you guys what artist should we do a tape with first but now I’m thinking maybe it should be a compilation tape of various artists over these masterpieces!”
In the text message screenshot, Metro can also be seen reacting to a beat Zaytoven has sent him and he used the goat emoji to signify his belief that Zaytoven is the greatest of all time.

Metro later followed up by teasing a full-on team up as a production duo: “The sound of these beats me and @zaytovenbeatz make together are so unique like nothing my ears have ever heard before. I think we need a name as a production duo.. any ideas?”
The hit producer then dropped his biggest hint a joint album was on the way by responding to a fan asking for Future to rap over a joint Metro/Zaytoven beat when he said: “Got plenty on the album already.”
Metro has also long been teasing fans that a joint album with Future is coming. Pluto recently gave an update on the project on December 23, saying: “album [is] on the way”.
The two have been collaborating for over a decade with Metro behind some of Future’s biggest hits such as “Jumpman”, “Karate Chop” and “Mask Off”.

Metro Boomin and Future have a long and successful creative partnership going back over a decade to the release of “Karate Chop” in 2013.
