Metro Boomin was a successful hip-hop artist before releasing “Not All Heroes Wear Capes,” 2018’s #1 Billboard chart-topper from his debut studio album.
Leland Tyler Wayne, a 28-year-old Missouri native, began making beats in high school and connected with hip-hop musicians on Twitter. He ascended to fame eight years ago after meeting Future and Gucci Mane on the internet.
Metro has since written songs for Lana Del Rey, Drake, Nicki Minaj, and Kanye West. His career highlights include Post Malone’s “Congratulations,” which was certified Diamond at 10x platinum, and Migos’ “Bad and Boujee,” which was certified Platinum at 10x Diamond.
Which was certified four times platinum and peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. “Svge Mode II,” a 2020 collaboration with 21 Svge, peaked at number one on the Billboard 200.
Following his big break, the prolific hitmaker spent $4.9 million on an unusual house. A local builder and his wife built the flat-roofed, slightly squat house on spec in the guard-gated Bell Canyon enclave in the San Fernando Valley’s outskirts.
The mansion, which boasts “spectacular country and city views,” is set on more than an acre of hillside terrain high above the street. A lengthy concrete driveway winds up and around to approach the big motorcourt in front of a four-car garage with tandem parking.
The steep slopes of Bell Canyon surround the boxy dwelling. The 6,200-square-foot house has five bedrooms, six full bathrooms, and a powder room.
The interiors were designed to be airy and uncluttered. Instead, expansive views and glass walls reign supreme, with white ceilings and neutral oak floors throughout.
