He met Black Rob and Busta Rhymes who helped him get a deal with Jive.
Rumor has it that he was rapping in a club bathroom when an A&R from Jive overheard him and signed him to a record deal. His first and second albums were his most successful, going gold. He was also featured in Ciara's song “Goodies.” After leaving Jive sometime after 2006, he founded Carolina Music Group as his independent record label. He has had some legal issues and served some jail time in 2012 but as of 2022, he is a free man.
