Seems like a bunch of people don’t get b*tches.

Metro Boomin’s A FUTURISTIC SUMMA is set to make its mark on the Billboard 200, with early projections estimating around 20,000 units sold in its first week. While the numbers may be lower than some expected for a producer of his stature, the album is still poised to challenge for a Top 20 debut, further extending Metro’s run as one of hip-hop’s most consistent architects.

The project—boasting features from Future, Lil Baby, Travis Porter, Young Dro, Roscoe Dash, and more—delivers a unique blend of futuristic trap beats and nostalgic Southern energy. Whether it’s the thumping 808s or the reunion of fan-favorite voices from the blog era, Metro once again curates a soundscape that bridges generations.

Despite limited promo and the surprise-like release strategy, A FUTURISTIC SUMMA has gained traction quickly, especially on platforms like Apple Music where it briefly claimed the #1 rap album spot in the U.S. With strong DSP support and a niche-but-loyal fanbase, Metro proves he doesn’t need flashy antics to chart.

Even if it doesn’t top the charts, the album is a win for production-driven projects, showing there’s still room in the game for conceptual, producer-led releases. One thing’s for sure—Metro’s summer vision is charting.
