TDott, who was friends with the late rapper Pop Smoke, was taken to Brookdale Hospital Medical Center and pronounced dead, cops said.
Hours before his death, TDott had struck a deal with Million Dollar Music, the label announced in a press release posted to its Instagram account.
The label described TDott as a “rising star” and said “he rose to prominence for his ‘Woo Walk’ from a community whose drill music has and continues to electrify the world.”

He “has multiple video credits under his belt, but it’s his ability to dance which speaks volumes,” the label said.

His record label celebrated the young rapper’s life in a post on Instagram Wednesday night.


“It’s an honor to remain your friend until your last moments,” the label wrote. “Your memory will always stay with us no matter where we go & what we do.”


TDott danced in the music video for Pop Smoke’s 2019 hit song “Welcome to the Party.” He also flashed his moves in Fivio Foreign’s music video for “Big Drip.”


Fivio Foreign paid respect to the artist in an Instagram post as well.
“Imma miss you forever baby boy,” the fellow musician wrote. “You was the prince of this city. Long Live Prince T Dot. I love you gang. Like forever watch over me like you always do.”
Sources said TDott’s killer was inside a dark SUV. No arrests were made in the case as of early Thursday.
