At the age of 20, Ridiculous joined a music label called Hood Hero Ent, where he released a trilogy of mixtapes titled The R. After having issues with the group's leader and promo team and other personal issues, Ridiculous was dropped by the group which led to the release of his fourth mixtape CracKed; the first look of Ridiculous struggles and his untapped ability of lyrical consciousness. Three months before the drop of this in depth mixtape, Ridiculous joined a new music group named YBU Ent with artists KingSmoove, Focus and later on D-Notez; founded by Isaiah Glasgow and Akil Joseph. After such a conscious piece of work, Ridiculous had to show his fans that he was still the quick witted rapper they fell in love with, which led to the emergence of his weekly dropped freestyles and his new earned nickname SundayFunday.
