By 2019, ian transitioned to producing music for other artists, including Izaya Tiji, and continued this role until 2022. His breakthrough came with the release of his debut mixtape Valedictorian on May 17, 2024, which peaked at number 54 on the charts. The lead single from the mixtape, "Figure It Out," was released with a music video featuring former NFL player Marshawn Lynch and has garnered significant views.
