Metro Boomin Brings Out John Legend & Swae Lee During Red Bull Show

Metro Boomin took the stage in LA with a 43-piece orchestra including strings, brass, and a harp, which performed the Atlanta producer’s music in widescreen at the Dolby Theatre on Thursday night.

He also brought on stage Swae Lee, Nav, and John Legend to celebrate this fusion of music, which essentially bridged the gap between hip-hop and orchestral music.

He said, “Music is music. I’ve always looked at it that way. Everything, every song is a certain tempo, and it’s in a certain key.”

He continued, “I don’t care what kind of music it is. I feel like orchestral elements in hip-hop have always been involved in some kind of way.”
