Leland Tyler Wayne (born September 16, 1993), known professionally as Metro Boomin, is an American record producer. Widely acclaimed for his dark and cinematic production style, he is regarded as one of the most influential producers in contemporary hip-hop and trap music. He has most notably worked with a string of artists including Future, 21 Savage, Migos, Gucci Mane, Kanye West, the Weeknd, Young Thug, Drake, and Travis Scott.

Born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, Wayne began his career in music production in 2009 at the age of 16. He moved to Atlanta to attend Morehouse College in 2012, during which he worked extensively with various Atlanta-based artists. Wayne gained wider recognition for co-producing the 2014 single "Tuesday" for iLoveMakonnen, which peaked at number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100. He was credited on a string of similarly successful singles throughout 2016, including "Jumpman" by Drake and Future, "Father Stretch My Hands" by Kanye West, "Low Life" by Future, and his first number-one production, "Bad and Boujee" by Migos. This was followed by the diamond-certified (14× platinum) "Congratulations" by Post Malone, "Tunnel Vision" by Kodak Black, "Mask Off" by Future, "Bank Account" by 21 Savage, and his second number-one production, "Heartless" by the Weeknd.

As a non-performing lead artist, Wayne's debut studio album, Not All Heroes Wear Capes (2018), and its follow-up, Heroes & Villains (2022), both debuted atop the Billboard 200, along with his two collaborative albums with Future: We Don't Trust You (2024) and We Still Don't Trust You (2024). Heroes & Villains spawned the single "Creepin'" (with the Weeknd and 21 Savage), which peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 and within the top ten of several countries. We Don't Trust You spawned the single "Like That" (with Future and Kendrick Lamar), which became his first number-one song on the chart as a lead performer. In addition, he has released the collaborative projects Savage Mode (2016) and Savage Mode II (2020) with 21 Savage, DropTopWop (2017) with Gucci Mane, Perfect Timing (2017) with Nav, and Double or Nothing (2017) with Big Sean.
