He joined the Bad Boy Records hip hop group Boyz n da Hood in 2006, following the departure of its lead member, Jeezy. His first album with the group, Back Up n da Chevy (2007) was met with lukewarm critical and commercial reception, leading to their subsequent disbandment. He then signed with Bad Boy, an imprint of Atlantic Records in a joint venture with Block Entertainment as a solo act to release his debut studio album, Welcome to the Zoo (2007). Welcome to the Zoo, despite mixed critical reception, peaked within the top 20 of the Billboard 200 and was led by the Billboard Hot 100-top 40 single "Hood Nigga". His second album, Don't Feed Da Animals (2009) peaked within the top ten of the chart and served as his final release with Bad Boy, while his third, King Kong (2011), peaked at number 56.
