Metro Boomin is one of hip hop’s top producers. The 26-year-old St. Louis native is also a record executive, songwriter and DJ. Founding his record label in 2017, “Boominati Worldwide” signified the next step in his career as an artist, producer and businessman.

Born Leland Wayne, Young Metro moved to Atlanta, Georgia to attend Morehouse College and studied Business Management. While still attending high school, Metro Boomin would travel to Atlanta to work with the Bricksquad Monopoly artists OJ Da Juiceman. That alliance eventually led to an introduction with Gucci Mane and later ignited a flame with Future.

The brotherhood formed with Future produced Metro Boomin’s first hit “Karate Chop” and from there the rest is history. Metro went on to produce hits for Young Thug, 21 Savage, Gucci Mane and the Migos. Being one of the only producers to boast 10 Simultaneous Chart Hits, Forbes deemed Metro Boomin the Ruler of Billboard’s Hot 100 in 2017.
