Musical career[edit]
In 2007, Lance Howard met Darius "D-Win" Windfield on a city bus after being overheard discussing his interest in pursuing music.[2] The two formed the group "The Rocketeers" in which they collaborated on several singles, as well as their debut mixtape entitled, "Stylish Shoes & Colored Jeans" under their independent label Rocketeer Music. In 2010 The Rocketeers released a single and accompanying video for a song titled "Feelin Good" to promote a mixtape titled "The Manitee". Although, this project would not see a full release.
In 2014, Howard appeared on Schoolboy Q's Oxymoron on the track "His & Her Fiend" along with SZA. In 2015, he then was featured on Jay Rock's 90059 on three tracks, "Money Trees Deuce", "90059", and "Telegram". In 2016, he was also featured on Kendrick Lamar's untitled unmastered. for the song "untitled 04".[3]
On May 20, 2016, it was announced that Lance Skiiiwalker signed to Top Dawg Entertainment, with his debut album, Introverted Intuition, set for a release later in 2016. Celebrating the announcement, he released his single "Speed".[4] On May 27, he released the second single, "Could It Be", with an accompanied music video.[5]
On August 18, 2017, Howard released a single entitled, "Where To With You", with a music video he produced which accompanied it.[6] Both the video and single were later removed from all platforms without specified reasons.
On January 27, 2023, Howard released a single entitled "Beantown", along with a supporting music video to coincide with the announcement of his 2nd studio album, Audiodidactic. On February 10, the album saw a release, along with the reinstatement of alternate versions of both the song and video for "Where To With You", due to the song's inclusion on the album.
