Atlanta producer Turn Me Up Josh, real name Joshua Samuel, has passed away. His death was confirmed on Monday by frequent collaborator Lil Durk.
“Rip turn me up josh smh,” Lil Durk tweeted. The musician also shared a photo of Josh in the studio on his Instagram stories, captioned with crying and praying emoji. No cause of death has been revealed.
The multi-platinum producer and engineer first ascended in 2013 with his work on Migos’ breakout single, ‘Versace.’ Throughout his career, he would go on to work with Metro Boomin, 21 Savage, Megan Thee Stallion, Nas, DaBaby, Tinashe and Def Loaf. Last year, he was nominated for a Grammy for his work on Drake and Lil Durk’s collaborative single ‘Laugh Now Cry Later.’
Josh’s signature tag, performed by Quavo, can be heard across Lil Durk’s The Voice deluxe album tracks.
