The superproducer makes an unexpected summer splash with a high-energy track and hints at a full project on the way.
Metro Boomin has officially kicked off his summer takeover with the release of “Slide,” a surprise single featuring Roscoe Dash that doubles as the first look at a newly announced mixtape. The track arrives with little warning but a lot of energy, pairing Metro’s polished production with Dash’s signature melodic flair.
“Slide” is a bounce-heavy anthem built for movement, blending Metro’s hard-hitting percussion with catchy, carefree flows. It also marks a bit of a return moment for Roscoe Dash, who rose to prominence in the early 2010s with club-ready hooks and Southern swagger. Together, the duo captures a sound that feels nostalgic and modern at the same time.
Alongside the single, Metro shared a playful visualizer that features him flaunting wrestling championship belts, signaling both his competitive edge and his well-known love for WWE. Whether symbolic or literal, the imagery makes it clear — Metro plans to dominate the summer release cycle.
Though the title and release date of the full mixtape remain under wraps, “Slide” has set the tone: this is Metro Boomin at his most unexpected and entertaining.
“Slide” is now streaming on all major platforms.
