Hollins saw his furthest recognition for his appearances on Kanye West's album Donda (2021)—on its songs "God Breathed", "Jonah" and "No Child Left Behind"—for which he earned nominations for Best Rap Album and Album of the Year at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards. His debut studio album, Lost Souls (2022) was met with positive critical reception. That same year, he co-wrote Lil Baby's hit song "Forever".
