Metropolis Gold peaked at #42 on the Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums[3] and #18 on the Top Heatseekers.[4] The album features two the Billboard singles: "The Actual" and "The Hot Joint". DJ Premier-produced single "The Actual" peaked at number 3 on the Hot Rap Singles for 23 weeks, making the song the most hit song of the duo to date.[5]

The album was not commercially successful, not selling enough copies to reach the Billboard 200. After the release of it, the duo disbanded without further releases. Greg Valentine continues to perform and record with other rap artists, but it's not known what J.Mega is doing today.[6]
