By the age of 23, he had already architected an unbreakable string of smashes for the likes of Drake, Kanye West, The Weeknd, Future, Nicki Minaj, Travi$ Scott, and many more. 2017 has been an explosive year for Metro, having produced 5 Top 10 records on the Hot 100 Chart this year alone including Post Malone’s triple-platinum smash “Congratulations” [feat. Quavo], Migos’s platinum “Bad and Boujee” [feat. Lil Uzi Vert], Future’s platinum “Mask Off,” Kodak Black’s platinum “Tunnel Vision” and Big Sean’s platinum “Bounce Back.” In 2016 he not only scored the BET Hip Hop Award for “Best Producer of the Year” and watched his cumulative streams reach billions worldwide. He also joined forces with 21 Savage for the joint project Savage Mode—which racked up over 250 million streams and yielded two platinum selling, Billboard Hot 100 hits in less than six months’ time. Adding to his countless credits, he served as executive producer for Drake & Future’s platinum-certified 2015 collaboration What A Time To Be Alive in addition to producing the triple-platinum “Jumpman.” Covering The Fader, the publication described Metro as “arguably the most in-demand producer in hip-hop,” while Billboard dubbed him, “One of the brightest rising stars in hip-hop today.” He’s been prominently featured by Noisey, Forbes, Washington Post, Complex, and more. “SET IT OFF” TOUR DATES WITH BRYSON TILLER: Aug. 3 – Atlanta, Ga. – Fox Theatre Aug. 5 – Southhaven, Miss. – Landers Center Aug. 6 – New Orleans, La. – Lakefront Arena Aug. 8 – Houston, Texas – NRG Arena Aug. 9 – Austin, Texas – Statesman Skyline Theatre at the Long Center Aug. 11 -Phoenix, Ariz. – Rawhide Event Center Aug. 12 – Las Vegas, Nev. – The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Aug. 15 – San Francisco, Calif. – Bill Graham Civic Auditorium Aug. 18 – Vancouver, BC – Dough Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre Aug. 19 – Seattle, Wash. – WaMuTheater Aug. 20 – Portland, Or. – Theater of the Clouds at Moda Center Aug. 23 – Denver, Colo. – Fiddler’s Green Amiptheatre Aug. 25 – Dallas, Texas – The Bomb Factory Aug. 29 – Miami, Fla. – Watsco Center at the University of Miami Aug. 30 – Orlando, Fla. – CFE Arena Sept. 1 – Richmond, Va. – The Classic Amphitheater Sept. 2 – Vienna, Va. – Wolf Trap Sept. 3 – Norfolk, Va. – ODU Constant Convocation Center Sept. 6 – Lowell, Mass. – Tsongas Center at UMass Lowell Sept. 7 – Mashantucket, Conn. – The Grand Theater at Foxwoods Resort Casino Sept. 9 – New York, N.Y. – Radio City Music Hall Sept. 11 – New York, N.Y. – Radio City Music Hall Sept. 13 – Toronto, ON – Echo Beach Sept. 14 – Detroit, Mich. – Masonic Temple Theatre Sept. 16 – Louisville, Ky. – KFC Yum!
