His debut studio album, ''A Written Testimony'' (2020), was met with critical acclaim and entered the ''Billboard'' 200 at number 12; it was followed by his second album, ''Act II: The Patents of Nobility (The Turn)'' (2020) in October of that same year. His guest performance on Kanye West's 2021 song, "Jesus Lord", marked his first entry on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100.
