He founded his own record label, All Money In, under which he released albums such as The Marathon and Crenshaw, the later of which Jay-Z bought 100 copies of at $100 a pop. Over the years he also worked with YG (on the track "FDT (Fuck Donald Trump"), Rick Ross, 9th Wonder, Kendrick Lamar, Diddy, and many more.
