10 July 2025 - Press release

Marking Concord’s First Signing Out of Brazil

  

Concord Music Publishing is thrilled to announce the signing of Tropkillaz, the dynamic GRAMMY-nominated Brazilian production duo of Zegon and Laudz, to a global publishing agreement covering all new copyrights. This landmark deal, orchestrated in close collaboration between Concord’s London, New York, and Miami offices, marks the company’s first-ever signing out of Brazil.

Renowned for their genre-spanning versatility and groundbreaking production work, Tropkillaz have become a global powerhouse, blending Brazilian rhythms with bass, funk, hip-hop, and dancehall to redefine contemporary music. Their influence crosses borders and genres, with collaborations with artists including Anitta, J Balvin, Marshmello, Justin Bieber, Doechii, Major Lazer, Snoop Dogg, Bob Marley, and Childish Gambino, as well as work with superstar songwriters and producers like Ryan Tedder, Stargate, Jason Evigan and more.

Tropkillaz in a joint statement commented: “We’re thrilled to be joining the Concord family and focusing on creating lots of new music. We 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 U.S.— and we feel lucky to see that work resonate globally. We are also so excited to have found a new home at A-List Management, building this next chapter together - there’s so much more to come!”

Most recently, they lent their production talents to Karol G’s latest album Tropicoqueta, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart and No. 3 on Billboard 200, further solidifying their role in shaping Latin music’s global momentum.

Pablo Ahogado, VP A&R, Concord Music Publishing Miami, added: “We’re thrilled to welcome Zegon and Laudz to our roster. Their trailblazing creativity, genre-defying global sound, and deep roots in Brazilian music, reflect our commitment to creators that drive culture forward.”

Additional recent works include “Perfect” — a collaboration with Sam i and BIA (also a Concord writer) — which gained global attention as the soundtrack for Apple’s AirPods campaign, directed by Spike Jonze and starring Pedro Pascal. Tropkillaz also produced “Chill,” off the solo debut from Lisa of BLACKPINK, which debuted across Billboard’s Pop and Dance charts. Tropkillaz have also left a notable imprint on the global K-pop scene, in addition to their work with BLACKPINK’s Lisa, they’ve also worked with NCT 127, aespa, and TXT — a testament to their genre-blending reach and international influence.

Adam Salomon, Senior Director A&R, Concord Music Publishing UK, commented: “I’ve been a fan of Tropkillaz for years and have followed their journey closely. They’ve always stood out to me as a duo with a truly global sound—rooted in Brazil but reaching far beyond. I couldn’t be more excited to officially be working with them, together with our US team. Their track record speaks for itself, and there’s a lot of great music on the way!”

John Woolf and Morgan Gray of A List Management commented: “We are incredibly proud to be working with the Tropkillaz. It’s also great to continue our longstanding relationship with the amazing team at Concord. Big things ahead, and we can’t wait to share what’s coming!”
