In 2016, AG broke through the music industry with his studio album titled ‘’Gold’’ which peaked #7 on the Billboard World Album Chart.

AG parted ways with YBNL and became an independent artist, in 2018 he blessed ours hears with his highly anticipated album ‘’About 30’’ in which he demonstrated an unprecedented versatility and range while delivering emotional ballads and summer hits mix and matching English and Yoruba together.
