[7] The tape was made available two days later for free download exclusively through the Christian hip-hop website Rapzilla. [8] Thompson's talent was praised by critics when he and ThaInnaCircle produced the bass-heavy, East Coast style, reggae and dancehall-influenced song "Violence" by Lecrae from the Grammy-winning album Gravity, released on September 4, 2012. [9] [10] [11] In October 2012, Thompson competed at the second Annual Rapzilla.com Beat Battle at the 2012 Flavor Fest.
