Overview

  • A Futuristic Summa dropped on August 1 as a 24-track, double-disc tribute to early-2000s Atlanta trap culture.
  • The mixtape brings together veteran and emerging Atlanta names—from Gucci Mane and Young Dro to Lil Baby and 21 Savage—hosted by DJ Spinz.
  • First-week sales projections place the mixtape below 22,000 album-equivalent units, pointing to a debut outside the top 20 on the Billboard 200.
  • On August 3, Metro Boomin took to X to fire back at detractors, calling for a return to regional identity and dismissing critics as too young to understand the era.
  • When fans linked his posts to Joe Budden’s podcast, he clarified on X that he’s “a big fan of the JBP” and has “all love” for their commentary.
