One of the most impactful producers of the 21st century, Metro Boomin has earned household-name status in hip-hop and beyond. Those who’ve tracked his hitmaking journey to the top will no doubt express a fondness for his 2010s run, which soundtracked Atlanta’s rise with countless rap talents, several of whom remain bona fide stars to this day. Hosted by DJ Spinz, another ATL fixture responsible for more than a few of the area’s biggest singles, the painstakingly curatorial A Futuristic Summa taps back in with many of the rappers, producers, and most importantly the vibes of that very era—albeit with some modern touches. The party sensibility begins early on with peppy cuts like “I Want It All” and “They Wanna Have Fun,” the latter featuring Gucci Mane with a gratifyingly nostalgic flow. The 808 bump that built so much Southern hip-hop bursts through on the Freaknik-conjuring “Butterflies (Right Now),” where Quavo’s unmistakable voice glides between the breaks. As things progress and the beats shift, a plethora of Atlanta artists popular in the 2010s make noteworthy appearances, including Skooly, Young Dro, and Yung Booke, as do fresher faces like BunnaB and YKNIECE. The highlights are plentiful, like when Brick Squad Monopoly’s Waka Flocka Flame comes through on “Clap” or when he joins the aforementioned Quavo on the shimmering “Drip BBQ.” Rocko steps up to challenge those faking their fortunes on “Make It Make Sense,” while 2 Chainz flaunts his legit wealth on “I Like That.” When Young Thug shows up on “Birthday,” it’s a big deal in and of itself. Further capturing the magnitude of this musical event, the late-in-the-game R&B jam “Partying & Drinking” introduces Young Metro’s most faithful cohorts 21 Savage and Future, with Waka also in the mix again. While the vocalists who cycle in and out of A Futuristic Summa captivate and compel, a big part of what makes this project so meaningful is the collaborative nature of the instrumentals. 2010s heroes like Bobby Kritical, Zaytoven, and Honorable C.N.O.T.E. play vital roles in Metro’s bespoke production supergroup. Sometimes their presences are identifiable by the respective tags that dotted and defined seminal mixtapes; other times their contributions feel more like Easter eggs. These artists were integral not just to the success of trap, but of other regional mutations like futuristic swag, revived here on “Issa Party” with Fast Life Yungstaz and Shop Boyz alums.
