Metro Boomin

Born September 16, 1993, in St. Louis, Missouri as Leland Tyler Wayne, Metro Boomin began making beats at age 13 — inspired by Gucci Mane's mixtape output — and relocated from St. Louis to Atlanta at age 16 to pursue connections in hip-hop's commercial center, enrolling at Morehouse College while simultaneously pursuing production work. His persistence as a teenager paid off immediately: he began producing for major acts while still in high school, attending Atlanta studio sessions and cold-approaching established acts at industry events, and his signature producer tag — 'Metro Boomin want some more,' positioned at the front of his productions as a copyright signal and a quality assurance mark — became one of the most recognized audio brand identifiers in contemporary music within three years of his Atlanta arrival. His production signature is built around a specific set of sonic decisions: melodic, minor-key 808 bass patterns that carry emotional weight rather than just rhythmic function; open hi-hat patterns with subtle swing that create the illusion of space in dense trap arrangements; and a tendency toward longer, more atmospheric intros that build tension before the arrangement fully commits to its main rhythmic section. These choices distinguish his work from the harder, more percussively dominant approach of competing Atlanta producers, and they explain why his instrumentals work as well underneath Kendrick Lamar's introspective rapping as under Future's melodic trap or Travis Scott's psychedelic hip-hop. His production résumé covers the full commercial spectrum of modern hip-hop: Mask Off (Future, #1 on the Billboard Hot 100), Bad and Boujee (Migos featuring Lil Uzi Vert, also #1), Antidote (Travis Scott), Jumpman (Drake & Future), and Ric Flair Drip (Offset & 21 Savage). His debut solo album Not All Heroes Wear Capes debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 in November 2018, and Heroes & Villains repeated the achievement in December 2022 — two #1 solo producer albums in four years, a commercial consistency that no previous hip-hop super-producer had maintained across consecutive album cycles. His 2024 collaborative double-album with Future, WE DON'T TRUST YOU, debuted at #1 and produced Like That featuring Kendrick Lamar, which reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 during the Kendrick vs. Drake rap feud that became 2024's most culturally significant music industry event. Lamar's Not Like Us — a diss track that referenced that feud — later won the 2025 Grammy for Record of the Year, placing Metro Boomin's production catalog at the center of the most discussed musical conflict and its award recognition simultaneously. Metro Boomin performs DJ sets at LIV Nightclub at Fontainebleau Las Vegas as a recurring headline residency, sequencing his own productions through live performance that lets the catalog arc from his early trap-era anthems through his recent atmospheric and collaborative work.

Metro Boomin's sound: St. Louis-born hip-hop super-producer whose LIV Nightclub appearances deliver a decade of trap catalog as live performance events — Metro Boomin's DJ sets sequence his own productions across the full chronological arc from his early Gucci Mane-era debut through Mask Off, Bad and Boujee, Heroes & Villains, and the WE DON'T TRUST YOU era, allowing audiences to experience the production evolution that defined modern trap's sonic development in a single continuous narrative. Fontainebleau Las Vegas's speaker infrastructure reproduces his signature production choices — melodic 808 bass patterns with minor-key harmonic weight, open hi-hat swing, and atmospheric intros that build pressure before committing to the main arrangement — with the physical accuracy that makes the difference between hearing his music and feeling it. His sets function as hip-hop history lectures delivered at nightclub volume: each track placing his catalog in the cultural context of a decade that made trap music the dominant commercial form of American popular music. At LIV at Fontainebleau, the professional sound systems and production infrastructure amplify every element of their performance — from the sub-bass to the high-end clarity.
