The Stereotypes are a production team created in 2003, comprising Jonathan Yip, Ray Romulus, Jeremy Reeves and Ray Charles McCullough II. In June 2010, they were listed among the "Top 10 Songwriters and Producers to Watch" in Billboard magazine.[1]
The Stereotypes have produced many songs including Justin Bieber's platinum-selling "Somebody to Love" (feat. Usher), Cardi B and Bruno Mars "Please Me", Destiny Rogers' "Tomboy", Ne-Yo's "Year of the Gentleman", Mary J. Blige's "Good Love", Chris Brown's "Beg for It", Fifth Harmony's "Deliver", Lil Yachty's "Better", Iggy Azalea's "Mo Bounce" and Red Velvet's "Bad Boy".
The Stereotypes won two Grammy Awards in 2018, Song of the Year and Best R&B Song, for their work on Bruno Mars's diamond certified, #1 Billboard Hot 100 song "That's What I Like". The Stereotypes took over the charts in 2017 with a string of songs from Mars' album 24K Magic, which swept the Grammys and won the Album of the Year and Best R&B Album awards. The Stereotypes' contributions to the album include production credits on "24K Magic" (which won the award for Record of the Year) and co-producing and co-writing "That's What I Like" and "Finesse". The Stereotypes were also nominated for a Grammy in the category of Producer of the Year (Non-Classical).
