Riaan “Lapho umfowethu omncane ezwa lokho, washaqeka kakhulu ngokuqaphela nokwethembeka kweMetro kanye nokunakekela indlela unina ambheka ngayo,” kusho uMustafa. “Kwathi lapho ngibuyela ekhaya, kwaba sengathi, ‘Ngisanda kudlula kwaMetro [Instagram] futhi asikho nesisodwa isithombe noma ividiyo yakhe ebhema.’ Nangempela ukugcinile lokho kumama wakhe. Ngangithi, ‘Akuyona yini into enhle leyo?’”
Ukudlula kukanina kungenye yezinto ezidabukisayo ezigcwele Amaqhawe namaVilakazi. “Ziningi izizathu zokuthi kungani [this album is] okubabayo,” kusho iMetro ngokuzithoba.
Kunamagama amathathu ohlwini lwabahlanganyeli abafakiwe abangekho lapha ukuzobungaza ukukhishwa kwayo. I-Young Thug kanye no-Gunna, vele, baboshiwe, babhekene necala elikhulayo le-RICO kanye neqembu labo le-YSL. Ithegi kaThug ethi “Metro” izwakala kulo lonke irekhodi, futhi iculo lakhe engomeni ethi “Metro Spider” livela ngendlela eshaqisayo uma kubhekwa isimo sakhe esibucayi: “Inkulu kunomongameli, manje impilo yami yonke isiyihlazo,” uyarepa, kamuva wengeza ngokuthi, “Uma kukhona okwenzekayo, izingane zami zithole uNksz ngakho konke kuhamba kahle.” Yena no-Gunna bavela ndawonye engomeni yebhonasi ye-albhamu ethi, “All the Money,” iculo elimnandi elikhumbuza abalaleli ukuthi i-hip-hop ibishoda ngani kulo nyaka njengoba laba bobabili besejele.
Futhi izwi lokugcina elisha kuphrojekthi libuhlungu kakhulu. Ilungu leMigos, uTakeoff, owabulawa emasontweni amabili ngaphambi kwenhlolokhono yethu, ubehlelelwe indawo yokulingisa engomeni yesibili ye-Metro. Yize iMetro yaziwa ngomsebenzi wayo naleli qembu, ikakhulukazi i-Offset, ubengawafaki erekhodini amanye amalungu amabili eMigos, efuna ukunikeza. Ukuhamba okuvame ukucatshangelwa ukukhanya okukodwa. Uthi lo mrepha ongasekho bekulindeleke ukuthi abonakale engomeni ezintathu, kodwa ngemuva kokushona kwakhe kwadingeka ukuthi kunqanyulwe eyodwa, owanqoba wasondela, “Feel The Fiyaaaah.”
Nge Amaqhawe nama-villains, IMetro izizwe inesibopho kulaba bobathathu, kanye nomama wakhe, ababize “ngomlandeli wami omkhulu nomlandeli womculo wami.” (UMetro ubesondelene ngendlela emangalisayo nomama wakhe, owashona ngoJuni.) UMetro uthi ngemuva kokushona kwakhe uthathe ikhefu, kodwa wagqugquzelwa yingxoxo abe nayo nomamncane wakhe. “[She] bekufana nokuthi, ‘Yonke into oyizwayo njengamanje, ungakuhambisa lokho. Kulapho-ke ubuciko nomculo omningi onomthelela omkhulu kunawo wonke ake wenziwa.’” Leyo ngxoxo yamshintsha, futhi iMetro yaphusha ukuze iqedele. Amaqhawe namaVilakazi njengobufakazi kwabathandekayo bakhe.
“Bengivele ngizokwenza isiqiniseko sokuthi noma yini enomuntu olapha iyahlanya, kodwa kwaba umthwalo omkhulu, njengokuthi, ‘kumele ngiqinisekise ukuthi ngenzela abafana bami ubulungiswa, nangaphezu komculo,’” usho kanje. “Abafowethu bangempela laba. Ngiyamthanda uThug, ngiyamthanda uGunna, ngiyamthanda uTake. Ngazi i-Take isikhathi eside, iminyaka eyishumi, kusukela sineminyaka engu-18 sobabili. Sathatha uhambo lwethu lokuqala lokuya e-LA ndawonye, mina, Sonny Digital, Migos.”
