Metro Boomin, who was officially ranked as the biggest songwriter in the U.S. so far in 2017, has recently shown off his pre-show necessities. Metro’s number one mainstay is his Mayson Goyard briefcase that he takes everywhere on tour. The luxe briefcase contains all the producer’s daily requirements from his laptop to his lotion. When asked what he needed before a show the Missouri native simply replied “water and sleep. I don’t take too much maintenance.” Kitted out in a rose-gold Audemars Piguet watch and custom made Avianne jewelry, the rapper explains that while he’s not a very superstitious person he does pray before every show. He also confesses that he’s waiting for the winter as he’s all about layers and outerwear.

Catch the full GQ video above to see more backstage snippets from Metro. In other music news, Quavo announces that he’s working on a Migos movie.
