In a late-night social media surprise, Metro Boomin confused and teased fans by announcing out of the blue that his highly anticipated project “A FUTURISTIC SUMMA” would be postponed. The mixtape, originally scheduled to arrive on Tuesday, July 22, has been delayed until next week.
As many fans awoke, refreshed but anxious for a futurist soundscape that will carry them this summer, instead they were confronted with the brief but bracing message from the St. Louis-born super-producer: “PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE. FUTURISTIC SUMMA NEXT WEEK.” Although no specific release date was given, it’s generally assumed that the project will arrive on July 29 now. Others are guessing it will precede August 1, as Friday is the usual release date for significant music projects.

The surprising turn of the calendar wasn’t entirely without warning. Metro also mentioned Future in the tweet, fueling speculation that the two have a revamp and collaboration in the works. His post, which tagged Future and contained a flying saucer emoji, had fans panicked, speculating that the hold-up could be due to a last feature or finishing touches from the Atlanta rap icon. If so, the delay could be justified.
Still, not everyone is thrilled. The announcement was made mere moments before the mixtape was scheduled to go out. Fans complained in online posts, saying the announcement was insufficiently clear and too last-minute. “A FUTURISTIC SUMMA” is on the way, and Metro Boomin wants to make sure it arrives with maximum impact. Whether it’s a sudden July 29 release or an August 1 takeover, the summer’s most hyped mixtape is just on pause, not out of reach.
