Metro Boomin

MUSIC PRODUCER

From Migos to Future, Post Malone, Gucci Mane and 21 Savage, a startling number of the biggest hitmakers in hiphop have one element in common: the prodigious beatmaking of 24-year-old Metro Boomin. A Memphis native, the young Metro (born Leland Tyler Wayne) spent his high school years commuting back and forth to Atlanta in his mother’s car to work with rappers, and by the time he was old enough to drink he was already firmly ensconced in rap radio’s top tier. Winner of two consecutive producer of the year awards from both BET and BMI, Metro was behind the boards for multiple tracks on Migos, Nicki Minaj and Rae Sremmurd’s latest full-lengths, and has released two collaborative albums with Big Sean and Offset/21 Savage.
