Metro Boomin Announces Mixtape ‘A Futuristic Summa,’ Dropping July 22
Jul
Super-producer Metro Boomin has officially announced the release date for his highly anticipated new mixtape, A Futuristic Summa, set to drop on July 22.
Hosted by DJ Spinz, the project promises to usher in a bold new era of Metro’s sound, diverging from his usual cast of collaborators and featuring a completely “all-new cast” of artists, according to a teaser Metro posted on X (formerly Twitter).
🎧 The first taste of the tape arrived on July 4, with the energetic single “Slide” featuring Roscoe Dash, giving fans a summer anthem that blends Metro’s signature cinematic production with nostalgic ATL vibes.
🚨 What to Expect From ‘A Futuristic Summa’
Though the full tracklist remains under wraps, the mixtape is rumored to include 20 all-new tracks, showing off Metro’s sonic evolution and boundary-pushing instincts. Long known for redefining trap and modern hip-hop production, Metro seems ready to reframe the genre once again — for the future.
“A Futuristic Summa” isn’t just a title — it’s a vision,” Metro teased online, setting the tone for what could be his most experimental project to date.
🔥 Metro’s Unstoppable Run
This announcement comes hot on the heels of Metro’s massive 2024 run with Future, where they dropped two chart-topping albums:
- We Don’t Trust You
- We Still Don’t Trust You
Both projects debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, and “Like That” — a standout single from the first release — made headlines as it debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100, fueling the high-profile rap feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake.
Although the pair scored five Grammy nominations earlier this year, they walked away empty-handed — but the buzz surrounding their collaboration remains sky-high.
🧩 What About That Metro x JID Project?
Many fans were hoping to see Metro’s long-rumored collaborative album with JID materialize in 2024. While it hasn’t dropped yet, JID recently told Complex the project is still in the works:
“When the work is there, you gon’ see… I promise when it’s presented, you’re going to understand exactly what it is.”
Though no official update has been shared by Metro himself, the mention suggests it’s still on the radar — but A Futuristic Summa will take center stage this summer.
📅 Mark Your Calendars: July 22
Metro Boomin’s A Futuristic Summa drops July 22 — and if the hype is any indication, this mixtape could be a defining moment for the producer’s next chapter. With new collaborators, bold experimentation, and a heatwave of anticipation, fans are in for something different.
