Metro Boomin is one of the busiest people in not only hip hop but the music busines as a whole. Whether he's working on collaborative albums (he dropped four of them in 2017), launching his Boominati record label or being tapped as Gap's new music director for their "Logo Remix" campaign, there's no doubt that what's in his power to move hip hop culture forward. Metro recently premiered a new song for their latest GAP commercial and today, he unveils the full HQ version.
Metro Boomin flips Thompson Twins iconic 80's single "Hold Me Now" for a new remix. Metro takes the song and brings it to 2018 with his production touch. Metro brings a solid hip hop feel to it, filled with his signature rattling 808's. It's not something you'd particular expect from Metro but he's proved to be one of the most versatile producers of our time and "Hold Me Now" is a testament to that.
Quotable Lyrics
Look at our life now,
Tattered and torn
We fuss and we fight and delight
In the tears that we cry until dawn
