Rap crooner Toosii is ready to be game-changing. The hip-hop crooner has stepped up to speak on having an interest in securing the top hip-hop song of the year.

The hitmaker pulled up on Sirius XM/Pandora in Atlanta to dish on everything from music-making to contributing to the culture. Peep the details and keep scrolling for the full video.

One of hip-hop’s hottest acts, Toosii, recently visited the SXM/Pandora office in Atlanta, Georgia stating he wants the first number-one record in hip-hop this year. Toosii arguably has one of the biggest songs of 2023 with “Favorite Song” and wants that single to give hip-hop its first number-one record this year. 

He sat down with SXM/Pandora social media specialist Morgz to discuss his latest project Naujor, being homeless at one point in his life, fatherhood, and artist development. He also gave flowers and credit to artist/songwriter Ivory Scott, who was in the audience, for his help on the album. Sirius XM/Pandora Vice President of Music Programming and the event’s producer Joshua “J1” Raiford, presented Toosii with the SXM/Pandora “Hip Hop 50th Anniversary Rising Star Award.”

J1 stated “I met Toosii almost four or five years ago shortly after he signed with South Coast Music Group, I knew then he was special. He is a great example of artist development as he and his team worked hard, built relationships, honed his sound, and grew his audience. So when Toosii got his hit “Favorite Song” he was ready with everything that came with it, the foundation had been laid. I was honored to present him with the “Rising Star” award.

Those in attendance were the likes of DJs, college students, fans of Sirius XM and Pandora Now, social media influencers, and brand company representatives. 

Toosii: It's all types of fire vibes in the new 'Favorite Song' music video

There’s no slowing down Toosii these days so it’s no surprise he’s staying on the grind with a new, must-see ‘Favorite Song’ music video. It’s all types of eye-catching and freshness coming courtesy of the crooner.

It’s all types of cinematic impressiveness. Peep the details and keep scrolling for the visual.

Today, Toosii shared the bittersweet official video for his new hit single, “Favorite Song.” Directed by Damien Sandoval (Wiz Khalifa, Tyga, Anitta, Missy Elliott) for Happy I’m Sad production company, the video opens with Toosii alone in a massive, majestic theater after a show. As he performs “Favorite Song” in the empty room, a tender, emotional love story unfolds about a couple and the last days they spent together.

With “Favorite Song,” Toosii has achieved a new career milestone. Billboard observed, “Toosii has maintained a steady presence on Billboard’s charts over the past three years, but now he’s officially a Billboard Hot 100 hitmaker…” In its second week on the Hot 100, “Favorite Song” climbed into the top 50. Following its release by South Coast Music Group/Capitol Records, the track placed number 1 on Apple Music’s Hip-Hop chart, within the top 10 of Apple Music’s overall Top 100, and the top 10 of Spotify’s Viral 50 – USA.

Earlier this month, Toosii kicked off – and concluded – his incredible Rolling Loud California set with his first performances of “Favorite Song.” In his interview for the Rolling Loud Livestream, he spoke with YesJulz and Drea Jackson about the track. View the interview HERE. Complex hailed Toosii as “One of music’s brightest stars” and Teen Vogue said, “if you're not in his orbit yet, you need to tap in.”

After closing out 2022 with Boys Don’t Cry: Men Do (Deluxe), which shot to #1 on Apple Music’s R&B Chart, and the direct support slot on Rod Wave’s Beautiful Mind arena tour, Toosii kicked off 2023 with “Magic Potion,” which was singled out as one of the week’s most notable new songs by XXL Magazine, Brooklyn Vegan and others upon its release. 

Hailing him as one of the artists “you should keep on your radar,” Ebony noted, “[Toosii] shows a vulnerability in his music which he embraces wholeheartedly.” VIBE observed, “[Toosii] has never shied away from his feelings, and promotes how strong it makes a man to embrace them… [Toosii] has an innate ability to capture his personal experiences in a way that makes them sound like specific situations everyone has endured.” 

Toosii's 'Lonely' but confident in his new music video

Rap crooner Toosii doesn’t mind being ‘Lonely’ but keeps it 100 on needing bae around him. From the balcony flexing to going indoors, T makes his public plea for his girl to pull through and stay atop the world with him.

Chill. Fun. It’s all summer vibes.

On his new release, “Lonely,” Toosii approaches the isolation of the road from a different point of view, singing directly to the woman who is at the forefront of his mind, despite the miles that lay between them. He recorded the intimate track with producers Bankroll Got It (DaBaby, Lil Baby, Mulatto, Lil Gotit) and Glone (Toosii, Moneyman, NBA Young Boy).

In the official video, which was directed by NoRatchetss, Toosii performs “Lonely” in an empty, opulent mansion, and flashing forward to the moment when he’ll be in the car, on his way home to his girl.
