The Atlanta-based producer born Leland Tyler Wayne ranks high among the most influential hip-hop producers of the 2010s and 2020s. He became a rising star along with his hometown collaborators Future and Young Thug, scoring his first major hit in 2014 with the hyper-minimal iLoveMakonnen sing-along “Tuesday.” From there, the viral smashes racked up, including Migos’ chart-topping “Bad and Boujee” in 2017. Metro’s artistry also shines brightly across full-length projects—see his blockbuster tapes with 21 Savage and his joint releases with Big Sean and NAV. The producer’s solo albums, too, are full of gold, stuffed with slick noir-shaded trap beats and fierce bars from his contact list of superstar collaborators.
