Everything about this track was a vibe.

Metro Boomin has quite a few classic projects under his belt in his career. One of those that is in the conversation for that title is NOT ALL HEROES WEAR CAPES. For some music aficionados, an album needs to be on the shelf for at least five years to see if it qualifies as an all-time great tape. Well, this project can enter those talks. On November 2, 2018, the St. Louis-born producer put out his highly-awaited debut album and there are plenty of highlights on it.

You have tracks like horn-synth laced "10 Freaky Girls," with 21 Savage, which is one of his many standout features. "No More" is another one with him, Travis Scott, and Kodak Black getting personal, rapping about their internal struggles. However, arguably the most wavy and vibey cut on here is "Space Cadet." Metro and Gunna proved they have chemistry in the past and this might be there best effort together.

Quotable Lyrics:

Bought a spaceship, now I'm a space cadet (Space cadet)
Big white mansion is my habitat (Habitat)
Aim a lot of sticks like it's laser tag (Laser tag)
F*** a rich b****, havin' rich sex (Rich sex)
Smoke a lot of trees, need a weed plant (Weed plant)
Addicted to codeine, where the lean at? (Where the lean at?)
