History

The duo met while Baptiste and Biral were attending New York University [6] and started producing in 2014. [7] In 2016, they collaborated with Rockstar Games to produce the score of the Grand Theft Auto Online update; 'Import/Export'. They have produced many hit singles, with their first notable track being "Mo Bamba" by Sheck Wes in 2017, which peaked at number six on the Billboard Hot 100. [8] Their highest-charting singles currently are "The Scotts" by Travis Scott and Kid Cudi and "Montero (Call Me by Your Name)" and "Industry Baby" by Lil Nas X, both of which peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. [9]

In October 2019, two Atlanta producers, Don Lee and Glen Keith Demeritt III, claimed that the Lil Nas X and Cardi B song "Rodeo" was a copy of the song "Broad Day" by Puerto Reefa and Sakrite Duexe, which they produced. The two sued Lil Nas X, Cardi B, and Take a Daytrip. [10] The case ended when it was dismissed with prejudice by the court. [11]
