Metro Boomin Talks Young Thug, Future Beef, Kanye West Production Group

In a new Fader cover story, Metro Boomin detailed his place in the Young Thug and Future feud, which seems to come and go as the artists find convenient.

"Yeah, it's some crazy sh*t," he says. "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."

Metro has become a go-to producer for even those who got their start making beats. Kanye was in his ear a lot over the process of making The Life of Pablo and while Fader was hanging with the young producer, Yeezy proposed a possible producer group, "We really should do a production group together," says Yeezus on the phone.

Elsewhere in the profile, Metro details his early life first traveling to Atlanta to make songs with OJ Da Juiceman and then at Moorehouse linking up with his friend and collaborator Sonny Digital, whose house he would eventually make beats with other rappers and producers from the city.
