Metro Boomin Wins Producer of the Year for XXL Awards 2024

This year's Producer of the Year category was stacked, and included Metro Boomin, RiotUSA, The Alchemist, Tay Keith, Hit-Boy, BNYX and Earl on the Beat. On Monday (Feb. 19), Metro came out victorious. Young Leland was also over the place in 2023, coproducing records like Young Thug's "Oh U Went," The Weeknd's "Popular," Travis Scott's "Until Further Notice" and more. He also curated the entire Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse soundtrack, coproducing 10 songs on the release, and delivered his Grammy nominated Heroes & Villains album at the tail end of 2022. It was nearly impossible to go too long without hearing his tag at the beginning of a new banger last year.
