Even without an official debut, the rapper rounded out the year with a nomination for BBC Radio's Sound of 2012 poll, performing alongside Rihanna at the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards, playing Lana Del Rey's husband in the singer's 'National Anthem' video, and landing a spot in a television commercial for the popular videogame FIFA Soccer 13.

After signing a reported large deal with Sony, the album was re-released in February of 2012.
