Metro Boomin is a St. Louis-raised, Atlanta-based producer who became one of the defining architects of modern trap through a sound that feels dark, stripped-down, and instantly recognizable. He built his name by making street-oriented records that hit hard without ever feeling overdone, and over time that made him one of the biggest producer names in hip-hop.
He got into production in his early teens and eventually focused fully on beatmaking, building early connections through social media and making constant trips to Atlanta before fully committing to music over college. Within a few years, he was behind major hits for artists like Future, Drake, 21 Savage, Migos, and Post Malone, then turned that run into a bigger career as a marquee producer with projects like Not All Heroes Wear Capes, Savage Mode II, and Heroes & Villains.
