In doing so, he assembled the corporation, Str Pwr Inc. In April of 2017, he also changed the name of his record label and all of present established companies’ names from Showtime Entertainment to Str Pwr. His voyage led him to creating and building a company for every single aspect of the industry that he felt is/was necessary to build his career and others, improve the marketability of his brands, ensure protection and security with and from all legal endeavors, and a strong foundation to generate and handle all financial affairs. On September 11, 2019, four years after the original release, “Tha Hurt” was made available on all streaming platforms. “Tha Basics” a month later on October 11, 2019.
