[7] He continued to release singles and EPs, [7] with genres including R&B and punk rock. [6] Richman released "Pleasantville" shortly before he was set to return for his sophomore college year, though he would drop out of college to pursue his music career after the song was well received. [2] In 2022, he released Paycheck, his first EP. [8] In 2023, Richman was signed to Brent Faiyaz's independent record label ISO Supremacy, [7] with a partnered signing with Pulse Records. [8] Richman later opened for Faiyaz's tour F*ck the World, It's a Wasteland Tour, [9] while additionally appearing in Faiyaz's track "Upset" from the 2023 mixtape Larger than Life .

He later released the song on April 26, 2024, [8] quickly receiving 38 million streams, having a U.S. Billboard Hot 100 debut at number 2. [12] It has been considered by some as the song of the summer, [11] and, after debuting at number two on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 on May 11, 2024, it reached number one the following week. [13] His follow-up single, "Devil Is a Lie", peaked within the top 40 of the chart.
Richman's debut studio album, Coyote , was released by ISO Supremacy and Pulse Records on September 27, 2024.
