His inspiration for wanting to rap came from the success of one of his best friends, Chris “Daddy Mack” Smith, one half of early-’90s rap sensation Kris Kross. Young Dro made waves with reputable rappers who became instant fans. T.I. was so impressed with his unique style that he signed Young Dro to his label, Grand Hustle Records (a division of Atlantic Records) in 2005.

The first single from the album, Shoulder Lean, under Grand Hustle; its video was heavily rotated on BET and MTV2, and its ringtone sold over 500,000 copies.
