Rooted in Memphis rap, he released five independent albums—Youngsta's on a Come Up, From da Dope Game 2 da Rap Game, Self-Explanatory, Life, and Back 2 da Basics —before signing with J Records in 2009. Two of his singles that year, "5 Star" and "Women Lie, Men Lie", received gold certifications by the Recording Industry Association of America and entered the Billboard Hot 100. Despite this, both songs were omitted from the release of his sixth album and major label debut, Live from the Kitchen, which, despite mixed critical reception, peaked at number 12 on the Billboard 200.
He transferred to Epic Records for the release his sixth and seventh albums, I Am and The Art of Hustle; both peaked within the Billboard 200's top ten, and spawned the platinum-certified singles "Act Right", "I Know", "Down in the DM" and "Law". His 2017 single, "Rake It Up", peaked at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 and remains his highest entry on the chart; it preceded his eighth album, I Still Am.
