At 22, Metro is arguably the most in-demand producer in hip-hop. He’s on the road living out of Airbnb rentals and DJ’ing sold-out thousand-cap venues around the world. Today he graces the latest cover of Fader.
In the mag, he describes how he became the producer that everyone trusts, success and managing it all. Check out some excerpts below.
Metro describes his relationship with Young Thug and Future.
“Future’s like an older brother to me, and Thug’s more like a brother my age.”
On managing relationships between artists like Young Thug or Future.
“Yeah, it’s some crazy shit. You can’t have either one of them feel like you fucking with the other one more than them. Either one of them would be offended. You gotta remain neutral as much as possible. It’s no bias. Atlanta, man—everybody’s a male, there’s a lot of ego. Somebody gotta be number one. Neither one of them are the type to settle for number two. I feel like they both motivate each other, and it’s good for the culture and the music—just as long as it stay at that.”
On his path to success.
“I started making beats when I was 13. And I’m about to be 23. That’s 10 years. And it’s just now starting to pay off.”
