Musical career
In early 2009, Pill's first mixtape 4180: The Prescription, and his first single "Trap Goin' Ham" was released. The mixtape received praise from fellow Atlanta rapper André 3000. Later that year he was featured in XXL's Show & Prove section. He also appeared on Killer Mike's Underground Atlanta compilation, on the tracks "Bunkin'" and "Grind Time." Pill's second mixtape 4075: The Refill and his second single off the mixtape "Glass" was released.
In 2010, he was featured on the cover of XXL as part of the XXL Freshman 10 line-up, with Donnis, Nipsey Hussle, Jay Rock, J. Cole, OJ da Juiceman and more. In June 2010, he released his third mixtape and first Gangsta Grillz mixtape 1140: The Overdose which was hosted by DJ Drama. He later appeared on fellow XXL Freshman Freddie Gibbs's EP Str8 Killa No Filla on the track "Do Wrong." He was also featured on "Introducing the Business" by Mark Ronson, which featured on Ronson's album Record Collection.
Maybach Music Group, the hip-hop imprint founded by Rick Ross, has announced a partnership with Warner Bros. Records. Maybach also announced its latest signee, Atlanta rapper Pill, on 22 February 2011.
Recently Pill was featured on "Ya Killin Me", a song off of Tech N9ne's new All 6's and 7's album, which appeared as a bonus track.
On 3 January 2012, Pill announced that he was leaving Maybach Music Group Imprint and Warner Bros. Records via his Twitter account.
