Biography

Biography Timeline

1993

Leland Tyler Wayne was born on September 16, 1993, in St. Louis, Missouri, where he attended Parkway North High School. He has four siblings. After a brief stint playing bass guitar in his middle school band, he turned to making beats in the seventh grade at age 13. This happened when his mother bought him a laptop and he got a copy of the music production software FruityLoops. In high school, Metro churned out five beats a day. Initially, Metro wanted to rap, and started making beats so that he could have music to rap over. However, he eventually turned his full attention toward hip hop production. As he continued to hone his production skills, while still in high school, he began to utilize online social media platforms, such as Twitter, to network with more established rap artists as well as beat submissions for potential music placements.

2013

In May 2013, Metro formally announced his debut mixtape, 19 & Boomin. Following warm-up singles, featuring artists like Trinidad James, Gucci Mane, and others, Metro released the mixtape, hosted by popular mixtape website LiveMixtapes, on October 7, 2013. The mixtape, all original songs, included “Maison Margiela”, featuring Future, and “Some More”, featuring Young Thug, both of which were subsequently released as music videos.

2014

In March 2014, Metro and Young Thug announced that they would release a collaborative album, performed and released under the moniker “Metro Thuggin”. The album was to be self-titled and was planned to be released sometime in 2015. Along with the announcement, Metro Thuggin released the collaborative track, “The Blanguage”. The ‘Metro Thuggin’ project was ultimately scrapped, however photographer Cam Kirk claims to have a copy of the complete, finished album. A few leaked tracks from the project were found circulating the internet in late 2015, yet an official mixtape has never surfaced.

In October 2014, Metro executive produced Future’s Monster mixtape. This spawned the first appearance of the hit single, “Fuck Up Some Commas”. Metro also produced the sixth single from Future’s Honest, “I Won”, which features Kanye West. The song became a single a month after the album was released.

2015

Metro served as executive producer for Drake and Future’s collaborative mixtape What a Time to Be Alive, released on September 20, 2015. In addition, he produced or co-produced seven of the 11 tracks on the mixtape.

2016

Metro also served alongside DJ Esco as executive producer for Future’s 2016 mixtape, Purple Reign. In 2016, he won Producer of the Year at the BET Hip Hop Awards.

That year, he also contributed to Kanye West’s The Life of Pablo, and he and 21 Savage released the EP Savage Mode. In 2017, he produced charting singles such as “Tunnel Vision” by Kodak Black, “Bounce Back” by Big Sean, “Mask Off” by Future, and “Bank Account” by 21 Savage.

In early 2016, Metro Boomin received widespread attention for his producer tag. Metro’s most prominent and iconic tag “If Young Metro don’t trust you I’m gon’ shoot you” is performed by Future. The origin of the tag comes from the song “Right Now” by Uncle Murda, also produced by Metro Boomin. The tag was first noticeably recognized by fans in Drake’s song, “Jumpman” from the collaborative mixtape What a Time to Be Alive. Metro Boomin has several other producer tags also featuring in his music. Some of these tags include, “Metro Boomin want some more, nigga!” (Young Thug), “Young Metro! Young Metro! Young Metro!” (Future), “METRO!” (Young Thug), “Me and Metro” (Nav), “Ayy Lil Metro on that beat” (Kodak Black), “Metro be boomin!” (Rich the Kid), “Metro in this bitch goin’ brazy” (21 Savage), and rarely “This beat is so, so Metro”, a tag recorded with his voice at some point in 2009.
