In 2013, Onfroy founded his own independent record label called Fast Money (stylized as FA$TMONEY). He released his debut studio album Polo Sporting Goods on December 17, 2013, through Fast Money. The album was completely produced by Chicago-based producer Thelonious Martin and features guest appearances from the likes of Dash, Ab-Soul and Action Bronson.
A collaborative EP with Dash titled That Time We Smoked Dust was released on May 6, 2014.[2] On April 14, 2015, Onfroy posted a video on Twitter of him smoking a blunt in front of a crowd of people and yelling "shout out to them people" and "mad ethnic right now."
