In February 2016, Castro premiered the music video for the Timbaland-produced single "FMN".[9] While talking about how he met Timbaland, Castro said; "I met Timbaland in Vegas backstage one year at a Justin Timberlake concert in 2014. He heard my music going around the city, being in Vegas. At the time the music I had out was strictly in the city and he got a hold of it. He thought it was dope. It was a blessing for me as it was Timbaland."[10] On August 22, 2016, Castro released his debut EP Songs You Were Made To, which features guest appearances from Poo Bear and Goldie.[11] On October 13, 2017, he released his second EP titled Sexpectations, Vol.1.[12]
