Honorable C.N.O.T.E. Explains How He Produced Trippie Redd’s ‘Dark Knight Dummo’
Atlanta producer Honorable C.N.O.T.E. has broken down how he made Trippie Redd‘s buzzing single “Dark Knight Dummo” featuring Travis Scott.
Released in December, the track has become Trippie’s highest-charting single, having peaked at no. 72 on Billboard’s Hot 100.
Speaking with Genius, C.N.O.T.E. said the vibe of the track was inspired by war. “I think somebody was talking about [North] Korea bombing America or some sh#t, so I was like, ‘what the f#ck do that sound like?’ … Some of my beats tell stories. This happens to be one of those the beats that tells stories.”
C.N.O.T.E went through the track’s entire storyline, breaking down each sound and the context behind it.

Atlanta-based hip-hop producer Honorable C.N.O.T.E. has been featured on Mass Appeal’s Rhythm Roulette series. The series challenges producers to make a beat by sampling three records that they randomly select while blindfolded.
Born in Michigan but based in Atlanta, C.N.O.T.E. is best known for producing A$AP Ferg‘s anthem “New Level” and Migos‘ new Culture II track, “Supastars.”
C.N.O.T.E. isn’t new to the game though. The Benton Harbor native has been producing since the late 2000s, having worked with artists like Gucci Mane, 2 Chainz, Travis Scott, Lil Uzi Vert, and Rae Sremmurd.
On the episode, C.N.O.T.E. picks up three records from Good Records in New York City and flips them into a soulful heater.
