We Don't Trust You is a collaborative studio album by the American rapper Future and record producer Metro Boomin. It was released through Freebandz, Boominati Worldwide, Epic Records, and Republic Records on March 22, 2024. The album features guest appearances from the Weeknd, Travis Scott, Playboi Carti, Kendrick Lamar, and Rick Ross. Production was primarily handled by Metro himself, alongside Mike Dean, Oz, Southside, Boi-1da, Honorable C.N.O.T.E., Allen Ritter, Dre Moon, Zaytoven, Doughboy, Lil 88, Wheezy, and G Koop, among others.

Background

Metro Boomin and Future first connected while the former was still in high school. Metro originally sent a series of beats to rapper Propain, who was working with fellow rapper Rocko, as well as Future at the time, and was asked to send some new beats when Propain was staying in Miami with Future. This led to the creation of Future's 2013 single "Karate Chop", which originally featured a guest verse from Freebandz Gang member Casino, before being remixed with a Lil Wayne verse a month later. Metro eventually moved to Atlanta after finishing high school, and continued collaborating with Future.

Between 2013 and 2017, Metro was responsible for some of Future's biggest hits on the Billboard Hot 100, which included "Mask Off", "Thought It Was a Drought", the Drake-assisted "Jumpman" and the Weeknd-assisted "Low Life". In December 2022, Metro released his second album Heroes & Villains, which featured some of the most recent collaborations between him and Future in five years, "Superhero (Heroes & Villains)", "Too Many Nights", "I Can't Save You (Interlude)" and "Lock on Me".

A month later in January 2023, when interviewed by radio personality Ebro Darden for his Rap Life Radio show, Metro was asked why he did not have any producer credits on Future's previous album I Never Liked You, in which he explained that he wanted to save the songs they had together for a collaborative project. This was further confirmed in an interview with Flaunt Magazine in March 2023, in which Metro promised the album would arrive sometime that year. In August 2023, Metro Boomin reported that he had lost three instrumentals meant for the album due to a power outage, likely contributing to delays.

After failing to deliver on his promise to release the album in 2023, Metro tweeted in January 2024 that he would not cut his hair or shave his beard until the album was completed and turned in. On March 8, 2024, he and Future posted a trailer, which also featured a soundbite from the late American rapper Prodigy, in which they revealed the title We Don't Trust You and two release dates of March 22 and April 12. On March 20, a second teaser trailer for the album was released, with its track listing revealed a day later on March 21.

Upon the album's release, the music video for "Type Shit" was released. It was released to Italian radio as a single on the same day as the album's release.

We Don't Trust You currently has a score of 63 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic based on five critics' reviews, indicating "generally positive" reception.

Writing for Clash, Robin Murray noted that the album "never moves in a straight line" and that it "epitomises just why Future and Metro Boomin work together so seamlessly". Concluding his review, Murray wrote that "at times uneven, the project stands as testament to the unique bond between these two A-list rap talents". Jesse Fuller, an independent musical critic, has praised the album for its dark production, Future's effortless flow on the beats, and its lyrical wizardry. HipHopDX's Scott Glasher describes the album as a "modern rap gospel" and that the project "carries a different tone" from their past collaborations. However, Glaysher states that the album doesn't "live up to its full potential" due to the loss of interest in its final third. Concluding the review, he stated that the album "should have been shorter" despite the duo "consistently [delivering] high-quality tracks". Writing for Slant Magazine, Charles Lyons-Bart gave the album a poor review. He criticizes Future's performance, noting that "Metro’s work is sometimes enough to carry a track" and that his delivery is often "clipped". Concluding his review, he writes that the album presents the downfall of Future, noting that he's "faded and almost lifeless" throughout the project.

Rolling Stone's Mosi Reeves wrote that Metro "has embraced maximalist, cinematic gestures". All in all, the album is described as "solid but nothing special". Writing for Variety, A.D. Amorosi writes that the album "doesn’t feel like a competition" despite "their signature strengths" being present on the album. Concluding his review, Amorosi notes that "Metro makes more of the duo’s first volume than Future does". HotNewHipHop's Gabrial Bras Nevares rated the album as "HOTTTTT", writing that the project "champions above all else". He notes that despite the album not being a "perfect attempt", it displays "focus, new approaches, intent-driven artistry" and several "bangers". Concluding his review, he noted that the project could have been better, however, the sequel "will not fall victim to complacency".
