About Metro Boomin

Metro Boomin, born Leland Tyler Wayne, is an acclaimed American record producer, music executive, and songwriter specializing in the trap sub-genre of hip-hop. He is widely recognized for his dark, cinematic production style, characterized by heavy, booming bass, rattling synthetic percussion, and gothic melodies, making him one of the most influential figures in contemporary hip-hop. In recent endeavors, Metro Boomin is set to release a new 20-track mixtape titled "A Futuristic Summa" in July 2025, hosted by DJ Spinz. This project is anticipated to feature an "all-new cast" of collaborators, departing from his frequent pairings, with "Slide" featuring Roscoe Dash already released as a single and Future also confirmed to be on the mixtape. He also produced several tracks for The Weeknd's "Hurry Up Tomorrow," NAV's "REAL ME," and Playboi Carti's "RADAR" in 2024, and is working on Young Thug's album. In 2024, he released two successful back-to-back albums with Future, "WE DON'T TRUST YOU" and "WE STILL DON'T TRUST YOU," which notably included "Like That" with Kendrick Lamar and topped the Billboard 200. Beyond music, Metro Boomin announced the "Leslie Joanne Single Moms Are Superheroes" grant-giving program in August 2024, offering financial assistance and resources to single mothers, and was honored with a key to the city of St. Louis in December 2023 for his community contributions. He has also ventured into other areas, including recording a song with WWE's R-Truth, which he hopes to perform at WrestleMania. In September 2025, Metro Boomin was found not liable in a sexual assault lawsuit. He also produced the lobby theme track for Fortnite Battle Royale Chapter 4 Season OG in November 2023 and executive produced Young Thug's "Business Is Business" album in June 2023.
