Producers are certainly getting more shine nowadays, with rap fans as a whole generally being much more aware of beatmakers than they once were. They're also moving further into instrumental work, with many of the successful musicians putting in as DJs or EDM producers.
Metro Boomin is one of the beatmakers at the centre of Atlanta's highly collaborative trap scene, and while he remains prolific in his work with rappers, today he's shared a new instrumental number. "No Sleep 4 The Youth" doesn't sound all that unlike something he'd give to Future or Young Thug, but there's a little more movement in the piece, shape-shifting where it would normally serve as a compliment to a vocalist's contributions.
