Twenty years of releases, most of it mixtapes, most of it made in a two year window. Here is all of it, in order, with a note on what each one actually is.
Where to start
Three records, in this order.
- "Ever Since U Left Me (I Went Deaf)" (2026). The number one, and the easiest way in.
- Public Domain 2: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007). Where the voice arrives fully formed.
- Coke Wave (2009). The partnership at its peak.
If those land, go to Million Dollar Baby 2 and work outward.

The shape of it
Look at the dates and one thing jumps out. Almost the entire catalog that built his reputation was made between 2006 and 2009, and a meaningful share of it was recorded or released while he was already in custody.
Fifteen projects in four years, then sixteen years of silence, then three projects in eight months.
That is not a normal career shape. It is why the Public Domain series still gets searched by people who were not born when it came out, and why the discography page has twenty seven projects on it, twelve of which have no Spotify presence at all because they come from an era that predates streaming entirely.
