He decided to drop his adroit debut album, Ohio in 2014, but due to minimal promotion, suffered lackluster sales and debuted at No. 35 on the Billboard 200. He was hungry and wanted to remove the stain of being labeled a bust, and decided to detach himself from MMG and Atlantic Records to test the waters on the independent circuit.
