Wisely, grand orchestrator Metro Boomin takes no obvious stabs at capturing another lightning-in-a-bottle pop moment like “Sunflower.” Laying a synth-filled backdrop of melodious hip-hop from some of the genre’s trendiest artists for Brooklyn’s urban wall crawler sounds like its own reward. No surprise then that Swae Lee returns for this sonic sequel, alongside Lil Wayne and Offset on “Annihilate,” and “Calling,” a collab with Nav and A Boogie wit da Hoodie. Post Malone and Swae Lee’s “Sunflower,” the musical centerpiece of 2018’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, recently scored an 18x platinum certification-the highest-selling single in RIAA history. Part of a recent renaissance for blockbuster soundtracks ( Kendrick Lamar and Beyoncé respectively curated the music for Black Panther and The Lion King of late), this latest lends new meaning to the term “spider verse,” with plenty of web-slinging bars from Offset, A$AP Rocky, 21 Savage, Future and an equally superpowered cast of melodic rappers of the moment. Miles Morales returns for the next chapter of the Spider-Verse saga, an epic adventure that will transport Brooklyns full-time, friendly neighborhood Spider-Man across the Multiverse to join forces with Gwen Stacy and a new team of Spider-People to face off with a villain more powerful than anything they have ever encountered. No one would make a better choice to helm the soundtrack to Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse than Metro Boomin, the trap whiz with albums like Not All Heroes Wear Capes and Heroes & Villains in his discography.
