Thankfully, that doesn’t seem to be the case for Well$, who laces “Heaven’s Door” with the same intensity that he’s brought to impressive recent releases like “Coldest Heart,” “130,” and his guest verse on Angelo Mota's “Over Here.” These decisions have placed considerable distance between the artist and his Triangle hip-hop brethren.īut if you can’t spit, it doesn’t matter whether you’re produced by some guy down the street or Yeezus himself. They've debuted songs on Billboard and Noisey, constantly worked the blog-and-showcase circuit in New York City, and collaborated with some of the biggest in names in music. It’s just the latest in a stream of savvy moves by Well$ and the Immaculate Taste crew. As co-signs go, few are stronger right now.
So it’s more than a subtle flex for Well$-a budding but still very regional artist in North Carolina-to drop a song produced by the highly coveted Atlanta beatsmith.
In the span of a couple years, Young Metro has gone from a buzzing collaborator to one of the hottest, most respected names in hip-hop. Then he executively produced Drake and Future’s What A Time To Be Alive in 2015, and produced on Kanye West’s The Life Of Pablo in 2016. Then he executively produced Future’s Monster mixtape in 2014. Metro Boomin’ was once just another member of a celebrated pack of ascendant hip-hop producers consistently getting credits with some of the biggest artists in the game. Let’s get the most superficial and amazing aspect of Well$'s new single, “Heaven’s Door,” out of the way now, because, if you read the headline, you’re already thinking about it, anyway: Did he really do a song with Metro Boomin’? That Metro Boomin’? This is a pretty big deal.
