A little less than a month after, Detox surprise released "Life Worth Living", his second album, to universal acclaim from an online community.

## Career

### 2016 - 2019:

Initially coined Detoxify, he began recording as early as 2016, holding onto tracks to complete a finished album. Due to various computer issues, Detoxify has revealed a "significant amount" of songs "destroyed".

In 2018, Detoxify met Mike Barkhoff and signed to Barking Vans Music, alongside Norff and Gee Mak. Detoxify immediately went to work, releasing a Freestyle single within his first month of signing, the beat of which was made by Barkhoff.

Detoxify then decided to issue his debut EP, Stage One, in 2018. Consisting of six tracks - two of which exclusive to YouTube - it was met with considerable attention and acclaim from an online community. Detoxify then began work for his album, releasing the singles Interdisciplinary and Get To The Money for the album. The former saw Detoxify at odds with labelmate Gee Mak.

In early 2019, Barkhoff disbanded the Music subsidiary upon an agreement from the musicians, as his depression had reached an unfamiliar height. During this timeframe, Detoxify worked with Norff to continue accomplishing tracks for his debut album. With an album intact, several tracks became lost again due to issues within the recording studio Detoxify operated in.

Detoxify then began to expierement sonically different concepts, alongside Norff. He began working on an album that beared differently than his intended debut, which Barkhoff and him established and announced as being IMPL LP.

### 2020 - Now:

Barkhoff reached out to Norff, Gee Mak, and Mcee Detox (with a changed name) to apologize and offer a deal - they operate under the same contract with less percentage clause. Detox took the deal and set out to try and trace down old tracks formed for his debut album; Barkhoff did the same, but found that the tracks he had also vanished. Due to lack of inspiration, he decided collectively with Barkhoff to introduce his new stage name and reissue two singles off his debut EP to his new Spotify.

Detox's first return with new music was Lord Make Way in early 2021. He went silent again - during this period, Barkhoff worked on arranging a tracklist for IMPL LP out of the tracks he had collected. Barkhoff struggled to find a balance in themes, as some songs were done with the intent of being a different album. In October, he released another single, Holy Water, featuring 69ERRAS and Norff. The single received critical acclaim for displaying Detox's new sound.

Detox again went silent, until April 2022 when he unveiled his Twitter and helped 12Digits' promote He Survived. The month after Live Free discussed a surprise album coming on May, Friday the 13th, as they express excitement on Kendrick Lamar's return but refused to move dates. This album ended up being IMPL LP, the debut, seven track project of Detox's. Released to critical acclaim, it is also shrouded in mystery, as it has been announced that Barkhoff and Detox made the collective decision to ultimately splice both of Detox's albums for the sake of thematics and sonic range.

Little more than a month after his debut album, Detox returned with his surprise released second album, Life Worth Living, again following silence on social platforms, on June 17th, 2022. Again consisting of seven tracks (eight counting the YouTube exclusive), it was met with heavy laud from an online community who favorably compared it to Norf and Rising. It has been suggested as an early contender for Detox's magnum opus.
