Recently released, some of the hottest artist and one of the premier producers in this rap era collaborated to create "Without Warning." 21 Savage, Offset and Metro Boomin came together to create a Halloween-themed trap album.

Migos member Offset, rapper 21 Savage and executive producer Metro Boomin' collaborated in the creation of the recently released, Halloween-themed album "Without Warning."
Rappers 21 Savage and Offset both reside in Georgia while songwriter and producer Metro Boomin comes from Missouri. Prior to "Without Warning," all of these creators crossed paths when Metro Boomin produced 21 Savage's debut album “Issa,” which came out in July. Metro Boomin is also known for their work with Offset's hip-hop trio, Migos.
However, the question remains, with all the their talent combined in one album, did they create a banger or another overwhelming piece of trash?
21 Savage and Offset manage to meld their different styles of rapping together well in their collaboration. 21 Savage brought a dark "trapping-out-the-bando" vibe while Offset showcased his quick and witty rapping style.
It’s almost like the two creators devised a plan to save each other when they were doing too much, unlike some artists. The pair's natural chemistry didn't appear to be rushed, aiming higher than a sub-par album.
Breakout 24-year-old executive producer Metro Boomin also picked some decent beats to compliment each artist while maintaining the Halloween theme.
The album starts off strong with its first song, “Ghostface Killers." The track highlighted the two creators' different styles between the two creators and a really impressive feature from Travis Scott.
Offset and Travis Scott meshed really well, thanks to their similar use of auto tune. However, 21 Savage came in rapping his normal trap style which contrasted well, giving the song a balance.
Unfortunately, the two artists tried to break away from each other for a few solo songs, but those tracks didn't reach the same caliber as when they were together.
“My Choppa Hates N****s” and "Nightmare" were produced well, transitioning seemlessly between each other. However, the artists just didn't bring enough interest for the songs to be repeated.
“Rap Saved Me” was the best song on the album, telling a story about how the music saved these two creators from their troubled past. This is where the duo shines the best.
However, the MVP of this album is Metro Boomin, once again proving to be one of the best producers to date. He tends to use dark and subtle tones in the background of his hard hitting trap drums. He also had constant howling wolves to stay true to the Halloween theme.
“Without Warning” definitely bumps in the whip and is a good album to put in your gym playlist. Also, it didn't include Takeoff, Migo's weakest member, which is always a positive. Now, let’s pray that there won’t be a Cardi B and Offset album.
3.8/5 stars
