Boyd appeared on
Ne-Yo's "She Said I'm Hood Tho" and picked up her first songwriting credit as the co-composer of
Tamar Braxton's "Never." The following year, she appeared on "Rosecrans" by
DJ Quik and
Problem, and made her solo debut for Epic that June with the
French Montana collaboration "Damn Good Time," a track subsequently given extra exposure on the playlist Epic Lit. "Make Me Over,"
Boyd's second single, arrived in March 2017. A couple months later, she was featured on
Eric Bellinger's Cannabliss EP. ~ Andy Kellman
