Metro Boomin returns setting the bar high and proving he’s more than a producer.

Since the passing of his mother, producer Metro Boomin’ has been out of the spotlight and taking time to heal. Now that he’s returning, he is doing it in the grandest fashion ever. As a producer, you’d be hard pressed to find anyone who wouldn’t call Metro a legend. The key to his entire business model is relationships and real connections. For the past few years he has delivered collaboration projects with our favorite artists over just a placement on their albums. Savage Mode II with 21 Savage produced a horror soundtrack that even featured narration from Morgan Freeman.

Metro Boomin Releases Heroes & Villains Short Film Featuring Lakeith Stanfield, Morgan Freeman, Gunna, and Young Thug

Metro Boomin is ready to release his second album and has enlisted the Hip-Hip and Hollywood Avengers for the task. Along with the album Metro has released a short film Heroes & Villains. The short film surprisingly features Gunna and Young Thug who have been behind bars most of the year. LaKeith Stanfield who disowned Hip-Hop previously this year, makes an appearance, and Morgan Freeman steps out the booth to join Metro in the film. Perhaps the most refreshing part is the teasing of a new track from Metro and Future who haven’t worked together nearly enough in recent years.

You can watch the full short film created by Gibson Hazard below. The album is set to release Friday, Dec. 2.

This week in politics, the vibes are messy, alarming, and straight-up confusing. From late night TV being snatched off the air to vaccine policies getting hijacked, it’s giving “WTF is going on?” Let’s break down the headlines everyone’s talking about inside. First Amendment on the Chopping Block Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show has been pulled from ABC, and Stephen Colbert’s show? Cancelled completely. The official line is murky, but the bigger picture is loud. Free speech is being tested under the Trump administration. While Trump once said he’d “honor” the First Amendment, recent moves suggest he’s working off a remix version that only benefits him. Case in point? The Guardian reports his $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times. A judge already tossed it out, saying Trump’s claims about “false content” violated federal rules. Still, the fact that these lawsuits and cancellations keep happening has people questioning the future of free expression in America. CDC Shake-Up Sparks Health Concerns Meanwhile, over at the CDC, things are getting political fast. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has basically turned the agency upside down, firing all 17 members of the vaccine advisory committee and replacing them with appointees that include vaccine skeptics. On top of that, the CDC director is out, high-level staffers are resigning, and decisions about vaccine safety are suddenly more about politics than science. Public health leaders are calling this move dangerous, saying it dismantles independent oversight just when Americans need clarity most. According to California’s government website, they are one of the few states pushing back on the federal government’s stance. California, Washington, and Hawaii aren’t taking it lying down. The states have formed an alliance pushing back on the feds, promising to keep vaccine guidance rooted in science, safety, and transparency. Their health officers are reviewing guidelines from trusted medical groups like the AAP and ACOG to ensure communities still have access to clinically recommended vaccines. Trump & Xi Meet About US TikTok’s Next Chapter And then there’s TikTok. After years of “will they, won’t they?” drama, Trump announced that he and Chinese Premier Xi Jinping approved a deal for TikTok’s U.S. operations. According to BBC, the plan reportedly hands control to a group of U.S. investors, sidestepping a shutdown. Trump called the call with Xi “productive” on Truth Social, and even, teased a face-to-face meetup at the APEC summit in South Korea this fall. From free speech battles to vaccine wars and TikTok drama, this week in politics has us all asking the same thing: WTFGO?
