Comethazine began posting his music on audio distribution platform SoundCloud and video distribution platform Spotify as a teenager, allowing him to quit his job as a mechanic to focus on music full-time. In early 2018, a feature on SoundCloud that allows their original sound file to be switched was abused for an unofficial upload of YBN Nahmir's song "Bounce Out with That", that was replaced with his song "Bands", causing it to acquire the chart data of "Bounce Out with That".

His next project, "Bawskee 4" followed on October 23, 2020, preceded by the music videos for "We Gone Win", "Air Max", and "Derek Jeter". Comethazine shot another music video for the song, "556", and released the entire album  alongside it. In late December 2020, Comethazine announced that his upcoming album would be titled "Comethazine the Album". He directed and shot a television show called "Doogie". It will premiere on Amazon Prime Video on a date that is TBD. On October 22, 2021, "Comethazine the Album" was released. It was promoted with the singles "Spinback" and "Six Flags".
