Toosii Hopes You’re “Proud Of Me”
Following weeks of viral anticipation, platinum-certified recording artist Toosii officially releases his new song “Proud of Me” and its cinematic music video, capping a wave of fan fervor across social media platforms. Released via South Coast Music Group/Capitol Records, the track arrives as a definitive anthem of perseverance. In recalling the supporters and skeptics who colored his journey to stardom, Toosii encourages the next generation’s relentless pursuit of their ambitions through his signature lyrical wit and melodic storytelling that has generated millions of fans worldwide.
Supporting the autobiographical vision, the song’s music video – directed by City James and shot in Baton Rouge – highlights local community and culture. Its release arrives at a defining moment in Toosii’s story as he embarks on a thrilling new challenge – enrolling at Louisiana State University (LSU) to pursue a bachelor’s degree and fulfill a dream of joining its historic football program. To reaffirm his commitment to the city, Toosii will donate a percentage of “Proud of Me” proceeds to support youth organizations in Baton Rouge. This next chapter is a testament to Toosii’s ability to maximize his gifts in every arena – whether a sold-out stage or the world of elite athletics.
“Proud of Me” is another win in Toosii’s book and the latest successful execution of teasing new singles to ever-increasing fanfare, following last year’s raw, emotionally charged “Even Then” and a superstar collab with YoungBoy Never Broke Again on “Please Don’t Go.” The latter arrived during the pair’s monstrous run on YoungBoy’s MASA Tour, with Toosii as direct support for the sold-out tour, which earned more than $75 million and was the seventh-biggest rap tour of 2025. The enormous gross adds to his in-demand status, building on the momentum of his 2023 sold-out headlining tour and as an opening act on Rod Wave’s Nostalgia Tour.
A natural creative multi-hyphenate, Toosii’s recent project JADED was his first since the platinum-selling album NAUJOUR, which included his Billboard Hot 100 top-five hit record “Favorite Song.” With new music on the horizon, Toosii remains rooted in the deep connection he’s built with his global fanbase. Having amassed more than 7 billion streams, he continues to evolve as a melodic storyteller, reaffirming his place as one of the most impactful and respected voices in modern hip-hop.
