His song “Neva Eva” was featured in the EA Sports video game NBA Live 07.[5] Between 2012 and 2016, Raptile performed with his female rap partner Lionezz under the urban-pop group name Follow Your Instinct. The group collaborated with artists such as Busta Rhymes and Snoop Dogg and toured internationally, including across Asia. Lionezz also appeared on VH1's ego trip’s Miss Rap Supreme in 2008.[6] From 2018 to 2025, Raptile worked as an A&R consultant for Sony Music Entertainment. He is currently producing his anniversary album Classic Material 2, scheduled for release in mid-to-late 2026.[7]
