Metro Boomin: Working With Young Thug & Future "Feels The Same"

In a new Pitchfork feature titled "Chaos Theory," which explores Young Thug's continued ability to update his sound without falling back on any recognizable patterns of subject matter or rapping style.The article discusses the Barter 6 rapper with some of Atlanta's top producers, including Metro Boomin, who executive produced Future's DS2 as well as What a Time to Be Alive.

Metro Boomin has also produced extensively for Thug. They've teamed together as Metro Thuggin, releasing Thugger essentials like "The Blanguage" and "Free Gucci." Most recently, Metro produced Slime Season's "Be Me See Me."

"Working with Thug and working with Future feels the same. They don't sound like each other, but their creative process and their level of talent is the same. Anybody who knows both of them would agree," the 22-year-old producer said.

To put it simply, Future's music this year has explored the space between drug-fueled irreverence and post-heartbreak depression, and Thug has exhibited himself as at once a foul-mouthed party animal and a genuine romantic. But few, if any, hip-hop artists have exhibited the kind of depth, and thus unpredictability, of the prolific releases from Thug and Future.
