"Flacko my real brother since Yams introduced us 13 years ago and been solid ever since. I’m 4ever grateful for brosay," Metro wrote. In response, fans asked Metro to get Rocky to release his long-awaited fourth studio album. "Tell him to drop an Album already Dawg," one fan replied. Another wrote: "So can you tell him to drop his album already or wha…? And I hope y’all got some collabs on the way." One also remarked: "Man you are the bridge to a Travis and Flack feature a track with both of em on will shake the planet."

Metro also shared a picture of himself and Rocky with Don Toliver. "90’s rap group album cover vibes very jiggy," he captioned the group photo. Fans were excited about the idea of the three artists collaborating as well. "Metro, Rocky and Donny T?????? This about to be some heat," one wrote. Another joked, "Group name will be 'The stoners.'"

Rocky has been teasing another album for years at this point, having released his latest effort, Testing, all the way back in 2018. In the time since, he's been more focused on his personal life. He's begun dating Rihanna, with whom he shares one child and soon to be another. Rocky spoke about fatherhood with Complex back in December. “It’s beautiful,” he shared at the time. “Honestly, I think fatherhood gives me more time to do exactly what I want. I don’t have time for anything that isn’t priorities. It helps you prioritize, honestly. I love it. Everything is just based around my newfound love for being a dad and a family man. It’s lit right now. I can’t even describe it. Yo, you see this smile! I’m all smiles right now, man.”
