He realized music could be a living and not just something he loved to do. His
music being exposed through his hustle and perseverance would get the attention
from a few people in the streets and music industry, one in particular record
executive and Ceo of Murder Inc records / Def Jam Irv Gotti. The rest is history.

Jimi signed an In house producer deal with Murder Inc records and has been
responsible for quite a few big records which garnered multi platinum records sales
and awards accredited to his work. “Every moment before prepared me for the
moment and I connected it as soon as I signed and negotiated my own deal with
Chris and Irv Gotti ”.
