After spending time under the mentorship of Lupe Fiasco, Jallal released his debut mixtape, Semi-Casual Love, in 2011.[2][3] Since then, he has released a second mixtape, Unwilling Fortay, along with numerous tracks. The mixtape caught the attention of Yasiin Bey (aka Mos Def), who has since served as a mentor to Jallal.[4] Jallal has opened for Bey on several stops on his US tours starting in 2013.[4]

In February 2017, Jallal released the single "Imma Dog". It was produced by CashMoneyAP.[5][7] He followed that up with "2:00 AM", produced by Goddy Beats, which Vibe magazine called "a flossy number that serves as the soundtrack for all of our late night rendezvous."[8] In May 2017, Jallal released the single "Toss & Turn" featuring Ne-Yo, produced by Hugo, James and Jan Fairchild.[1][9][10] In June 2017, he released the single "Never Forgotten", featuring BJ The Chicago Kid, Kaye Fox and Georgia Anne Muldrow.[11] The four tracks are included on his 15-track mixtape Off the Radar, which was released on June 14, 2017.[12][13] It features additional appearances from 2 Chainz, Lil Wayne, T-Pain and Yo Gotti,[citation needed] and production from Chad Hugo of The Neptunes, Elliot James of Hey Monday, and DJ Moza.[8] In March 2018, he released the single "Without Drake, Mos Def and Lupe Fiasco", produced by Killa J and DJ Moza.[14]

In 2018, Jallal put out the singles "The Truth" and "The Heat".[15][16] In April 2019 he released the single "You Gon' See", produced by Arteen Mozafari.[17] In August 2019 he released the music video for "We Made the Same". The song features the actress Tala Ashe.[18]
