Metro Boomin Confirms Release Date for A FUTURISTIC SUMMA, Drops Trailer and Star-Studded Lineup
After days of building anticipation, Metro Boomin has officially announced that his surprise mixtape A FUTURISTIC SUMMA will drop this Friday, August 1. The St. Louis super-producer revealed the date via a cinematic trailer shared across his social media platforms, and fans caught wind quickly—thanks in part to hip-hop news account Kurrco on X, who picked up the post.
The short trailer features glimpses of what appears to be a music video for “Slide,” the project’s lead single featuring Roscoe Dash. A looping visualizer for the track was previously released on July 4, just minutes after Metro teased the existence of the full tape. The single hints at the project’s overall aesthetic—a nostalgic yet modern nod to the trap roots of the 2000s.
While Metro has long been associated with chart-topping hits and frequent collaborators like Travis Scott, Future, and Young Thug, he made it clear this mixtape is about switching things up. In response to a skeptical fan asking whether he was recycling his usual roster, Metro said he was assembling a “new cast” for A FUTURISTIC SUMMA. That promise is now coming into full view.
The guest lineup reads like a who’s who of trap legends and rising stars. So far, the confirmed artists include Quavo, Future, Lil Baby, and Gucci Mane—many of whom announced their involvement by leaving voicemail clips for Metro that were shared in teaser videos. Beyond that, names like T.I., 2 Chainz, Waka Flocka Flame, and Young Dro are also set to appear, giving the project a distinct throwback feel paired with contemporary flair.
Metro has been laying the groundwork for this rollout with a heavy dose of early-internet nostalgia. The project’s promotional site is styled like an old-school Myspace page, and the visuals—along with the sonic direction of “Slide”—echo the golden age of mixtape trap from the mid-2000s.
Fans can expect A FUTURISTIC SUMMA to blend the past and present, a celebration of trap’s evolution with an experimental edge only Metro Boomin can pull off. With its surprise nature, carefully curated features, and nostalgic undertones, the mixtape is shaping up to be one of the summer’s most exciting drops. All eyes are on midnight.
