Metro Boomin

About

Metro Boomin, born Leland Tyler Wayne, is the architect of modern hip-hop and trap music, a sonic visionary whose beats have become the backbone of a generation. With a signature blend of haunting melodies, thunderous 808s, and cinematic textures, Metro has redefined the sound of rap, blending influences from Southern trap, R&B, and even classical music into a genre-defying style. His ability to craft anthems that feel both intimate and larger-than-life has made him one of the most sought-after producers of the 21st century. Emerging from St. Louis, Missouri, Metro’s rise was meteoric. By his late teens, he was already collaborating with Future, Young Thug, and Travis Scott, cementing his status as a hitmaker. His 2017 collaborative album *Without Warning* with 21 Savage and Offset showcased his knack for dark, atmospheric production, while *NOT ALL HEROES WEAR CAPES* (2018) solidified his solo artistry. Metro’s cultural impact extends beyond music; his tagline “If Young Metro don’t trust you, I’m gon’ shoot you” has become a pop culture phenomenon. Notable collaborations include work with Drake, The Weeknd, and Kanye West, while his production credits span chart-topping hits like “Bad and Boujee” and “Mask Off.” In 2022, he returned with *HEROES & VILLAINS*, a masterful exploration of duality and ambition. Currently, Metro continues to push boundaries, blending his signature sound with innovative storytelling, proving that he’s not just a producer but a true auteur of modern music.
