Since 2013, GRAMMY® Award-nominated diamond-certified producer, DJ, and artist Metro Boomin has defined not only the sound, but the direction of hip-hop. Tallying 20 billion streams, he impressively endures as the “Highest-Streaming Producer” in music. With dozens of smashes to his name including 87 Billboard Hot 100 hits as a lead artist, his unmatched, unprecedented, and undeniable discography encompasses the 5x platinum “Jumpman” by Drake and Future, quadruple-platinum “Bad and Boujee” [feat. Lil Uzi Vert] by Migos, 14x Platinum “Congratulations” [feat. Quavo] by Post Malone, 9x Platinum “Mask Off” by Future, and many more. He has notched five #1 debuts on the Billboard 200 with the platinum full-length solo debut LP Not All Heroes Wear Capes [2018], gold-certified Savage Mode II with 21 Savage, and his platinum sophomore album HEROES & VILLAINS [2022] hailed by Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Clash, Slant and more. In the wake of the latter, he notably scored 2024 GRAMMY® Award nods for “Producer of the Year” and “Best Rap Album.” He also architected the official soundtrack for Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse. The album—Metro Boomin Presents Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse—became his “6th Top 10 debut on the Billboard 200.” In 2023, It’s no wonder Variety crowned him its ‘”Producer of the Year,” Time touted him on the “Time100Next,” and he took home BET Hip Hop Awards for “Best DJ of the Year” and “Best Producer of the Year.” 2024 represented another creative, commercial, and critical peak for Metro Boomin.
He united with Future for the blockbuster one-two punch of back-to-back Billboard 200 #1 albums: the platinum selling album WE DON’T TRUST YOU and WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU. This era launched “Like That” [with Kendrick Lamar] to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks and ignited the sold-out We Trust You Tour. However, Metro never stops, and 2025 continues to be no exception.
The legendary GRAMMY® Award-nominated diamond-certified producer, DJ, and St.Louis-born artist soundtracks the season with the release of his brand new project, Metro Boomin Presents: A Futuristic Summa (Hosted by DJ Spinz), out now.
He throws it back to the 21st century’s golden age of Atlanta hip-hop, rewinding to the era of 2010-2012 when the scene really began to catch fire – especially the Futuristic Era, when Yung L.A. and J Money carved a new lane that defined Atlanta’s next wave and inspired a generation of hitmakers. In order to get into this mindset, he tapped a cohort of iconic ATL MCs for these tracks, including 2 Chainz, Gucci Mane, Roscoe Dash, T.I., Travis Porter, Quavo, Young Dro, and Young Thug to name a few. Together, they channel classic trap vibes, timeless Southern swagger, and enough heat to scorch the stage at Magic City. Additionally, Metro Boomin, ushers in new prominent female ATL rappers (Bunna B, YK Niece) by connecting them with these ATL rap legends while also paying homage to Young Scooter and Takeoff. With all of these amazing nods to the ATL rap scene, this project serves as the ultimate love letter to Atlanta.
As always though, Metro Boomin pushes forward into the future as both a producer and an artist, upping his game and elevating the culture in the process.
He capped off last year with a much-deserved victory lap. GQ christened Metro Boomin and Future its “Hitmakers of the Year” for 2024, featuring the duo on the cover of the “Men of the Year” issue and chatting extensively with them in an exclusive interview. Prior, they had logged back-to-back #1 debuts on the Billboard 200 with WE DON’T TRUST YOU and WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU. Not to mention, the single “Like That” with Kendrick Lamar spent three weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Beyond becoming what Billboard hailed as “the biggest story in rap,” the pair sold out arenas everywhere on the We Trust You Tour.
As always, Metro Boomin is keeping his foot on the gas and charging ahead with more music and surprises to be uncovered soon…
“Metro Boomin Summa” is officially underway.
