Deante' Hitchcock's musical career began in college, when he released his first mixtape, 19 Summers, on September 17, 2012.[1] His first official mixtape titled Wishful Thinking was released on February 24, 2015.[7] During 2016, Hitchcock gained more recognition after releasing more weekly freestyles, which went viral and reached the attention of Wale. He released his second mixtape titled Good on July 28, 2016. The mixtape was also available to purchase and on streaming services, and is the first of a trilogy.[8] The in-concert recording live album of this mixtape was released on March 9, 2017.[9] A month prior, Hitchcock released his first EP called Just a Sample on Valentine's Day in 2017.[10] On July 9, 2017, Hitchcock released an EP with fellow Atlanta rapper Michael Aristotle titled No Pressure.[11]

Hitchcock's career received a boost when he signed with the RCA-affiliated ByStorm label, where he released the six-track EP So Much for Good Luck on October 13, 2017.[1] The EP included the single "Wide Open" featuring GoldLink.[12] On June 18, 2018, he released his fourth EP called Thank You For Your Patience after the release of his album experienced delays due to sample clearances.[13] In late 2018, he was on tour with 6LACK for the From East Atlanta With Love tour.[14]

Everybody started seeing folks posting golden tickets and invites. I peeped the location, like, 'Yo, it's in Atlanta? Right here in our backyard.' I ain’t get an invite on the first day. I was feeling some type of way. But I was like, 'That just mean I’ve got to work harder.' That next morning, I got my invite from Mark Pitts. He sent me and [Young] Nudy. I was there every day I could be."[16] He was also a supporting act during the Catch Me If You Can Tour with JID in 2019.[17]
