Chandler A. Great (born August 9, 1994),[4][5] professionally known as Turbo, is an American record producer and songwriter. He is best known for his production with Young Thug, Travis Scott, Gunna, Nav, and Lil Baby.

He executive produced Gunna's debut studio album Drip or Drown 2 with fellow record producer Wheezy.[6] The album premiered at No. 1 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.[7]

Career

[edit]

In 2017, Turbo produced several songs on We Want Smoke, a compilation album by artists signed to T.I.'s Grand Hustle Records.[8] He executive produced Drip Harder,[9] a collaborative mixtape by Gunna and Lil Baby released in 2018, and is the solo producer on four songs of the mixtape,[10] including "Never Recover" and "Close Friends" which were certified Platinum[11][12] and "Drip Too Hard" which was certified Diamond.[13] He also produced "Slimed In" on Young Thug's compilation album Slime Language, released in 2018.[14] That same year, he produced on Gunna's third mixtape Drip Season 3.[15] He also founded own his record production collective, The Playmakers.[16][17]

In June 2019, he signed a co-publishing deal with Warner/Chappell Music.[7] In 2020, he released Quarantine Clean with Young Thug and Gunna, which makes it the first song where Turbo is credited as lead artist.

In January 2024, musician Jamal Britt filed a lawsuit against Turbo and Warner Chappell Music due to misuse of Turbo's iconic "Run that back, Turbo" producer tag which was recorded by Britt, noting that he "was never given notice that his voice was being used, never properly credited for his contributions to the songs in question and was never compensated from any of the royalty payments, profits, or other income garnered from the exploitation of his recorded voice".[18]
