Trap producer Metro Boomin has nothing but Lights, Camera, Action to bring in his birthday! Boombuster debuts at #1 in the box office for being one of the most memorable parties in the city! The blockbuster themed lituation took place September 17th in Southwest Atlanta. If you're too young to remember, BlockBuster paved the way for societal norms like “Netflix & Chill.” It was one of the first companies to offer access to new and old movies in the comfort of your own home. Following the incline of Red Box, Netflix and Hulu now only one blockbuster exists today, located in Bender, Oregon. Metro Boomin used his 28th birthday celebration to embody popular movie characters while remembering Blockbuster.

This event, like any great film, was full of stars.It is no secret that the music producer's birthday bash brought out black Hollywood's finest. The exclusive guest-list included artists such as Young Thug, 21 Savage, Latto, and G Herbo, all of which Metro has produced for previously. Latto was spotted dressed as Justice, Janet Jackson’s leading role from the 90’s classic film Poetic Justice. G Herbo took a different approach and dressed as Mike Epps character Baby Powder from the 2001 film How High. The birthday boy himself Metro dressed as Will Ferrell's famous character Ricky Bobby from the 2006 comedy Talidega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. It is safe to say that Boombuster was a hit, just like the chart topping songs he produces.
