Big Sean & Metro Boomin’ Roll The Dice On ‘Double Or Nothing’ Joint Album [STREAM]

Big Sean and Metro Boomin’ join forces for their ‘Double Or Nothing’ collaborative album, where the Detroit spitter lashes out big boy bars over the St. Louis producer’s instrumentals.

Packed with a total of 10-tracks, Sean Don and Boominati collaborate with Travis Scott on “Go Legend,” 2 Chainz on “Big Bidness,” Young Thug on “Even the Odds,” Swae Lee on “Reason,” Kash Doll on “So Good,” and 21 Savage on the high-powered “Pull Up N Wreck.”

 The joint project was a bit of a surprise for many, as it was released just days after the official announcement was made. For Sean and Metro both being from the Mid West, the project allows them to show off their chemistry, as Sean’s quick rhymes are a perfect match for Metro’s hard-hitting beats.

When asked about the collaborative effort Metro said, “I was born in ’93 and a lot of projects [from that era] had one producer, maybe two. They sounded more cohesive — better as a whole.”

For Big Sean, ‘Double Or Nothing’ is his second album of the year and follows the critically-acclaimed ‘I Decided.’ Meanwhile Metro Boomin’ collaborated with Nav for their own ‘Perfect Timing’ joint project and linked with 21 Savage and Offset for ‘Without Warning’.

Big Sean & Metro Boomin’ Announce Joint Album [PEEP]

From “Bounce Back” to “Pull Up N Wreck” to a complete joint album? Big Sean and Metro Boomin’ have made an announcement that they will be joining forces for the forthcoming ‘Double Or Nothing’ album, that is expected to be released before 2018 arrives.

Sean Don stirred up the hype when he tweeted, “I ain’t done wit 2017 yet…” A few hours later he tweeted “DOUBLE OR NOTHING,” with Metro following suit and tweeting “DOUBLE OR NOTHING” as well. The combination of both artists together has been literally a hit so far.

In an interview with Billboard both artists discussed the upcoming collaborative album and the decision to team up and make it.

Metro told Billboard, “I was born in ’93 and a lot of projects [from that era] had one producer, maybe two. They sounded more cohesive — better as a whole.” Big Sean then continues by saying, “That’s one of the things me and Metro are like-minded on. Maybe it has something to do with us being from the Midwest. We have that goal of wanting to succeed not just for ourselves, but for everybody who’s listening.”

Stay tuned for more information.
