His debut solo LP Plasma arrived on Sooper Records in 2020, and his second, From What Was Will Grow A Flower, followed in April 2025 — a kaleidoscopic record spanning Dilla-inflected detail, extended jazz instrumentals, and warm textural layering. His collaborator list runs deep: Noname (Room 25), Ravyn Lenae, OrionSun, Steve Lacy, Phoelix, and many others, plus the 2022 duo album Some Things Take Time with Cisco Swank. Across his solo records and collaborations, Titus brings the perspective of a drummer to songwriting and production. His music connects the Chicago scene that shaped him with a wider community of artists working across jazz, hip-hop, and R&B. He's performed at Lollapalooza, Coachella, Pitchfork, North Sea Jazz Fest, Fuji Rock, Blue Note Tokyo, and many more.
