Metro Boomin has worked with the biggest names in music and has single-handedly helped to create some of them, too. He’s had his hand in chart-topping tracks with Drake, Kanye West, Migos, Gucci Mane, 21 Savage, and the list goes on. With that said, he’s built quite a reputation as one of the most sought-after producers in the game and now it appears he’s planning to keep it all in-house by launching his own label. In a recent sit down with GQ, the 23-year-old musical prodigy said “I’m starting my label up… So of course I’m going to keep bringing new things to the table: new artists, new sounds, and new vibes for people to love and live with.” Aside from the launch of his label, he also confirmed plans to release a solo project and touched on his desire to build a legacy on his own terms, citing Kanye West and Pharrell Williams as examples.

Future is one step closer to an unprecedented accomplishment.
After industry forecasters predicted Future’s self-titled album would go No. 1 this week, the official numbers are in.
