Robinson met Atlanta producer Nitti Beatz and the two recorded the hit "It's Goin Down" in the spring of 2005.

The next single, "I Know U See It", reached No. 17 on the Hot 100 and No. 2 on the Hot Rap Tracks.
2007–2009: Hustlenomics
Robinson's next album, Hustlenomics, was released in 2007, with the singles "Coffee Shop" (featuring The-Dream and Gorilla Zoe) and "Bottle Poppin'" (featuring Gorilla Zoe).

In 2014, Robinson joined the VH1 reality series Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta as a supporting cast member. In August 2017, it was announced that he would compete in the first season of VH1's Scared Famous, which premiered on October 23, 2017.[21]
Personal life
In December 2011, Robinson's recording studio for his label Swagg Team was robbed. The criminals took about $70,000 worth of studio equipment along with a hard drive containing Robinson's unreleased music for his third studio album. The identity of one of the robbers was later revealed by Robinson. He knew one of the robbers, named "Honcho", of Thomaston, Georgia.[22]
As of 2022, Robinson has nine children by five women.[23][24]
In January 2020, Robinson was filmed driving for a rideshare company called Pull Up N Go, leading to speculation that he had fallen on hard times financially. He later spoke out against these claims, stating that he was doing this in order to show children the value of hard work as part of his volunteering with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Atlanta.[25]
On November 7, 2021, he married Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta star Kendra Robinson.
Legal issues
On May 18, 2009, it was announced that Robinson was suing his starter labels Block Entertainment & Bad Boy Entertainment due to unpaid royalties of his music. Eventually, Diddy and Robinson settled their differences. Little is known as to whether Robinson settled his differences with Block Entertainment.[26][27]
In 2012, Robinson (along with Block Entertainment and Bad Boy Entertainment) was sued by local Atlanta record label Master Mind Music, for breach of contract and copyright infringement.[28]
