The wait is over. Metro Boomin is turning up the heat this summer with the official release of his highly anticipated mixtape, A Futuristic Summa, dropping August 1—and fans are already calling it a classic in the making.
Originally set to release on July 22, the project was quietly pushed back. But instead of radio silence, the St. Louis-born superproducer fueled the hype machine with visuals, cryptic clips, and a wave of A-list name reveals that sent hip-hop Twitter into a frenzy.
🎬 The Rollout: Retro Vibes Meet Modern Hype
The mixtape’s promo campaign kicked off in full Gen Z nostalgia mode. Metro previewed a trailer on X (formerly Twitter) featuring scenes from the upcoming “Slide” video, starring none other than Roscoe Dash—yes, that Roscoe Dash.
That was just the beginning. The track’s official visualizer dropped soon after, blending vintage trap energy with futuristic aesthetics, giving fans their first sonic taste of what’s to come.
And for those looking for more than just bangers? Metro is also bringing the vibes with a throwback Myspace-style website—a genius nod to the mixtape-blog era that raised a generation of rap fans.
