PZ Cusson later inked an endorsement arrangement with him, allowing the firm to exploit his popular song, 'This Year', for promotional purposes which enabled the company use his hit song, ‘This Year’ for promotional purposes.
360nobs reviewed the album writing: 'Oba Orin is a fine collection of sounds that reflects Jaywon's superior talent and the state of pop music. It is rich, live, refreshing, timely and timeless all at once. Jaywon may make a bold claim but none can say he doesn't work for it every step of the way. Only time will tell if he has indeed earned the title.'
