Metro Boomin builds common ground between Future and Yung Lean on a dark anthem designed for Vice City.
If you had told me the next time Future and Metro Boomin appeared together would involve Yung Lean and a GTA VI soundtrack, I would have asked what you took to be so loopy. Somehow, that combination is real. Earlier today, “That’s It” reached streaming services as one of six songs released early from GTA VI: The Album, and it is one of the project’s most unusual offerings.
Metro Boomin handles the production, creating an edgy, slightly dark backdrop that sounds perfect for the closing scene of a movie where 87 people have been shot. Over it, Yung Lean brings a hazy vocal approach, while Future answers with the cool, trap-influenced delivery that makes him such a natural fit for Metro’s production. On paper, their styles might appear strange together, but the differences give the song its personality.
The track works mainly because Metro understands exactly how to build common ground between the two artists. “That’s It” is dark, unconventional, cinematic, and perfectly suited for causing unnecessary problems throughout GTA VI.
