He’s officially in the lifestyle now. His brand and style are well known and admired. He currently has a podcast “In the Cockpit” and is scheduled to release his first EP this year. He has worked with Lex Bratcher and Futuristic and has headlined numerous concerts of his own generating his own following and success. Late in 2022 his signed on with Midwest DJ, DJ K Yung as his manager and got long time friend Brett “Bert” Johnson has his road manager. His career is on the path that he believes that will now take him to new heights, with hopes of touring and working with producers like Metro Booming, Mustard and putting on theatrical performances like Travis Scott.
