You know you've made it in life when you're blessed with the keys to your city, and Metro Boomin just received that honor from St. Louis Mayor Tishaura O. Jones.
According TMZ, the popular producer received the keys to the city of St. Louis on Thursday (December 14). However, Metro Boomin was not honored for his brilliant work in the music game, but for the efforts he has made to improve the lives of single mothers in his city through his “Single Moms Are The Real Superheroes” campaign. .
I wish more rappers and entertainers would take this initiative to celebrate homegrown heroes like this.
