During 2013, Webster hinted at signing with a record label, and that he was in talks with a few. However he said, "I wouldn't want to sign under another rapper just because I want to be THE rapper.

Homegrown Music will be my G-Unit, Shady Records, GOOD Music." After remaining independent for his entire career, in mid-2013 he signed a record deal with independent powerhouse eOne Music. Following that he revealed that he was working on an EP and his debut studio album, which he said will "highlight his transformation from a rapper to an artist."
