Rap would never sound, look, or feel the same after Future landed. If you want to know where the culture's going next, just watch and listen to the iconic Atlanta rapper, singer, and producer. He went from cooking up beats in a basement for the Dungeon Family to generational superstardom with a presence looming from the streets all the way to The Met Gala. He literally brought trap into the White House as President Barack Obama rapped along to his quintuple-platinum banger "Jumpman" (with Drake]. He has collected 3 GRAMMY® Awards, dozens of multi platinum certifications and reached rarified air as one of only a handful of rappers to achieve Diamond status for 2020's "Life Is Good" [feat. Drake], affirming him as one of the best-selling acts of all-time. Not to mention, he carved out a place in the history books as "the first artist to release two Billboard Top 200 number ones in consecutive weeks." Along the way, he adorned the covers of Billboard, Clash, GQ, Rolling Stone, The Source, XXL and more in addition to delivering show-stopping performances on Saturday Night Live and Ellen. In 2019, he garnered his first GRAMMY® Award in the category of "Best Rap Performance" for "King's Dead" alongside Jay Rock, Kendrick Lamar, and James Blake. Kanye West sought him out as Executive Producer on the headline-making Donda 2 in addition to appearing on two tracks. He also pulled up on Gunna's "pushin P*” with Young Thug, appearing on yet another chart-busting banger. Future looks ahead again on his ninth full-length album, I Never Liked You, in 2022.

Metro Boomin remembers his late mom with heartfelt post
MB hit up his Instagram page and didn't hold back. Instead, Boomin dished on their time together last year and just weeks prior to her untimely death.
‘I remember Mothers Day last year we rode together to go pick up some pizza and you really admired the inside of this truck. I had told you I hadn’t really drove it in years and I felt your antennas go up. You went on about the truck some more and I told you that you could have it. You got real excited and wanted to take a picture with it when we got back. You were the QUEEN of posing for pictures and I’m sure that’s where my youngest brother gets it from. You had so much personality and charisma as well as hustle and drive as well as humility and compassion and I know that’s where I get all of that from. If I only knew You would be taken from me a few weeks later 💔 I miss everything about You and it hurts so much as I cry so much typing this. Everyday I’ve woke up for the past year is like a nightmare that’s never gon end. I Love and miss You with all my heart and every piece of my being. Gonna continue to do great things and dedicate it all back to You. I can’t stress enough for everybody to love your parents while they are here because they are the only ones we get. Happy Mothers Day to all the Queens out there and to everyone going through this day without their Queen just know you are not alone. 👸🏾💜♾️🥺💔’

Metro Boomin shares heartfelt mom text messages
Boomin hit up his Instagram page with a flurry of snapshots showing his day one’s motivational talk. Metro took things even further with his caption.
‘Mom I miss you so much I can’t do nothing but sit here and cry right now. You taught me to see the blessings no matter the circumstances and I feel so blessed right now but can’t help to feel hurt because this is the moment we have always talked about and patiently waited and prayed for. It hurts not getting your texts about all your favorite songs or how good you think I look in all the videos and pictures. You were always the proudest of all your children and have always been my #1 supporter with everything in life. Even when I was 13 sneaking staying up late on school nights to make beats and then when I would fake sleep you would just act like you didn’t know I was up. I miss your typos I miss you asking for the links to the albums and merch so you could send them out to everyone you know telling me no one could even talk to you without supporting your babies. I miss you checking me and putting me back on track if I ever went too far left. I Love You for eternity and can’t wait until I can finally be with you again. I feel so blessed right now but the moment is still so bittersweet 💔 #MyQueen#IWishYouWereHere 💜👸🏾🕊️’

Metro Boomin’s new must-see short film has arrived
Boomin’s new flick has everyone from Morgan Freeman and ‘Atlanta’ star LaKeith Stanfield to jailed rap heavyweights Young Thug and Gunna. The film comes just days before Metro releases his official album of the same name.
This week, multi-platinum record producer Metro Boomin releases Heroes & Villains, a short film featuring an elite lineup of stars including Academy Award-winning actorMorgan Freeman, Academy Award-nominated actor LaKeith Stanfield, Young Thug, and Gunna. The film comes as a lead-up to his highly anticipated second studio album Heroes & Villains, set to release this Friday, December 2nd.
The film, created by Gibson Hazard, is a sequel to his cinematic relationship with Morgan Freeman as well as a vision and continuation of his music narrative that is seen in each of his album installations. Metro, who has a deep passion for movies, wanted the film to create a cinematic listening experience for his audience as opposed to listening to an album song by song. With the help of renowned director Gibson Hazard, his ideas came to light. Hazard has been on the forefront of cinematography since his teens creating works for stars such as The Weeknd, Billie Eilish, Future and Lil Uzi Vert.
It feels like forever since Boomin hit the green light on putting out a full-fledged album. How long exactly? How about four years?
Heroes & Villains will be the follow-up to Metro’s 2018 album, Not All Heroes Wear Capes, and is dedicated to the producer’s late mother Leslie Wayne. Combining his love of film and music, Metro continues to push the envelope in this short film where actor LaKeith Stanfield portrays the “New Villain in Town'' and is first seen rushing out of a station in a fire truck with flamethrowers on top. He proceeds to set Metropolis ablaze until Metro, the hero of the film, decides to intervene. Narrated by the legendary Morgan Freeman, Metro is seen as the hero rushing in to save the city while snippets from his upcoming album Heroes & Villains play as the soundtrack. Playing off Metro’s iconic producer tag, Freeman announces “You know what they say, if young Metro don’t trust you, motherf*cker, you better run!”
