Later that year he was equipped with a computer, condenser microphone, and a digital audio workshop software where he learned how to make beats and record vocals. The following months he recorded and released his first song “Hoochie Freestyle” under the name of CEO Khidd. Following that he released singles like “Rickylake” and “Mad Max”. Seeing that his peers genuinely liked his talent for music he began to take it more seriously and increase his work ethic.
