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 shorter versions of both the song and video for "Where To With You", for the song's inclusion on the album.
