Released on October 7, 2013, "19 & Boomin" is the debut mixtape from Metro Boomin, hosted by Trap-A-Holics, DJ Spinz, and Hoodrich Keem. Premiered on LiveMixtapes, this project showcases the early brilliance of one of the most influential producers in modern hip-hop. Packed with high-energy beats and a roster of heavyweight artists, "19 & Boomin" is a sonic snapshot of Metro’s rapid rise in the trap music scene.

The mixtape kicks off with "Future Speaks", a track scored by Metro Boomin and Zaytoven, which serves as both a prologue and a tribute to Metro’s strong ties with Future, one of his earliest collaborators. This seamlessly transitions into "Maison Margiela," where Future rides over a hard-hitting beat crafted by Metro Boomin and DJ Spinz, setting the tone for the rest of the project with its lavish, fashion-heavy themes and powerful basslines.

"1982," featuring Gucci Mane, produced by Metro Boomin and DJ Spinz, delivers gritty street tales over a dark, brooding beat. OJ Da Juiceman follows with "All I Need," where Metro and Zaytoven combine to create a classic Atlanta sound, filled with melodic keys and punchy drums. The mixtape continues with "Get Rich & Get High" by Zach, a perfect blend of celebratory lyrics and infectious energy.

"Disloyal," featuring Ace Hood, is a standout track, with Ace delivering emotionally charged lyrics over one of Metro’s more melodic productions. "You A Drug," featuring Gucci Mane and produced by Metro and TM 88, offers a hypnotic flow that emphasizes Gucci’s signature delivery. Metro’s instrumental skills take center stage in the "Interlude," where his production depth is showcased without the need for lyrics.

Young Thug makes an early appearance on "Some More," produced by a dream team of Metro Boomin, TM 88, and Sonny Digital. Thug’s eccentric style merges perfectly with the atmospheric beat, creating a track that exemplifies the direction of trap music at the time. "Mink on the Floor" with Curren$y and Peewee Roscoe follows, showing Metro’s versatility as he seamlessly blends Southern rap influences with more laid-back vibes.

Other highlights include "For The Love" with Future, Casino, and Bankroll Fresh, and "April Fools" by SD featuring SL Jones, both showcasing Metro’s ability to craft tracks that bring out the best in each artist. Gucci Mane returns on "Up And Down" with a heavy, bass-driven track that’s both gritty and energetic.

Metro collaborates again with Young Thug on "Can’t See Em," one of the most high-energy tracks on the mixtape, with production contributions from Southside and DJ Spinz, proving the strength of their collective genius. "Serious" with Trinidad James and Curtis Williams, adds yet another banger to the project, balancing lyricism and production creativity.

Closing out with tracks like "F*ck The Rap Game" featuring Jose Guapo and "Money Do" by Ca$h Out, Metro Boomin further cements his place as one of the most sought-after producers in the game. "19 & Boomin" is a bold statement, filled with the hard-hitting, innovative sounds that would soon make Metro a household name in hip-hop production. It’s not just a debut mixtape—it’s the beginning of a legacy that continues to shape the sound of modern trap music.
