Sy Ari Da Kid

Over the following years, he continued to release multiple mixtapes while working with artists including Waka Flocka Flame, Future, Travis Porter and Roscoe Dash. On February 4, 2016, Brockington released B4 the Heartbreak, which featured Bryson Tiller on "Priorities". The mixtape also included features from Chasity, Lewis Sky and Tink.

In late 2015, rumours circulated that Brockington was ghost writing for Canadian rapper Drake. After releasing a song with Quentin Miller, who Meek Mill exposed as a co-writer for Drake, Brockington was forced to distance himself from the suggestions.

He released a number of mixtapes in 2011, including The Ultrasound, his first formal solo project. A further three mixtapes came in January 2012, including The Best of Da Kid Part One and Part Two. The collective mixtapes featured 106 tracks, used by Brockington to showcase his lyrical ability and versatility.

Brockington taught himself to produce and record with Pro Tools, which soon caught the attention of Grammy Award winning songwriter and producer Brian Michael Cox. Signed to December First Publishing Group, Brockington later launched his own independent level. Arrogant Music was launched in 2006, for who he serves as the CEO and main recording artist.
