Few producers have had such a demonstrated impact on the the last decade of music as Metro Boomin.

Described by GQ as the “architect of Atlanta rap”, Metro has netted collaborations as far-ranging from Coldplay to Gucci Mane, garnered three #1 projects on the Billboard 200 and is credited with bolstering trap music’s presence both in and out of the South.
