Warner Chappell Music has signed a worldwide publishing deal with emerging producer TooDope! in partnership with TM88’s company, Crash Dummy. The hitmaker got his start co-producing Drake’s 2021 global hit “Way 2 Sexy” (ft. Future and Young Thug) with producer TM88, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and topped Urban and Rhythmic radio. The catchy and irresistible track has amassed more than 350 million streams and counting in the U.S. and claimed the second biggest debut of 2021 after Olivia Rodrigo’s “drivers license,” according to Rolling Stone.
Warner Chappell Music Vice President, A&R, Wallace Joseph, said: “TooDope! is already making a name for himself and working with top acts, and this is only the beginning. He has so much momentum right now with two No. 1’s in less than a year for ‘Way 2 Sexy’ and ‘AHHH HA,’ and all of us at Warner Chappell are very excited to work with him and help grow his career.”
On signing with Warner Chappell, TooDope! shared: “TM88 and Southside have inspired me as a producer since the beginning and helped me get to where I am today. This is one of those moments you’re always working toward, and it’s great to have Wallace and the whole Warner Chappell team’s support.”
In addition to his work on “Way 2 Sexy” from Drake’s highly anticipated album Certified Lover Boy, TooDope! recently collaborated with Lil Durk on the single “AHHH HA.” The song has quickly dominated the charts, hitting No. 1 on Apple Music’s Top 100 and recently sitting in the top five on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and the top 20 on its Hot 100 chart. In 2019, he co-produced NBA YoungBoy’s RIAA-certified gold track “I Don’t Know.” TooDope! has also worked with Future, 42 Dugg, and Roddy Ricch, among others.
