This marks Concord's first ever signing out of Brazil, and the deal between Concord's London, New York, and Miami offices covers all new copyrights for Tropkillaz.
Tropkillaz, known for their distinctive fusion of Brazilian baile funk with global electronic sounds, have gained recognition for their innovative remixes and collaborations across various artists and genres. Their work has resonated globally, earning them critical acclaim and a Grammy nomination.

One of Tropkillaz's most notable projects is the production of the song "Chill" by Lisa from Blackpink. They have also made their mark in the K-pop field, working with NCT 127, Aespa, and TXT.
In addition to their collaborations with international artists, Tropkillaz have built a strong catalogue with original Tropkillaz releases while also producing for other artists from across the world, especially in Asia, Latin America, and the US. They have worked with superstar songwriters and producers like Ryan Tedder, Stargate, and Jason Evigan.
Pablo Ahogado, VP A&R, Concord Music Publishing Miami, stated that Tropkillaz's trailblazing creativity, genre-defying global sound, and deep roots in Brazilian music reflect Concord's commitment to creators that drive culture forward.
Tropkillaz recently worked on Karol G's latest album Tropicoqueta, which debuted at No.1 on the Top Latin Albums chart and No.3 on the US albums chart. The song "Perfect", a collaboration with Sam I and BIA (also a Concord writer), gained global attention as the soundtrack for Apple's AirPods campaign.
