Over the course of the next four years, he signed with Capitol, Universal, and Interscope Records, but again, no albums were produced. Though his own work was not going anywhere, he successfully ghostwrote for multiple artists during this time. Beginning in 2006, he began releasing increasingly successful mixtapes. One of his tracks, “Stick’m”, was featured in Grand Theft Auto IV. He also appeared in the film, “Notorious”. His first studio album, “ShakeDown” was released in 2013.
