Right after his stint on FF on BET, he released "Best of Jin" which included several freestyles, his FF battles, and his first two tracks. The next mixtape that came out was the "Almost Famous" mixtape which dropped the following summer in anticipation of his then-slated summer release date. The mixtape had notable tracks such as his collabo with Wycled and "Peel Off" which was featured on the 2F2F soundtrack.

What CDs has Jin made?
He originally pressed a demo a few years back to shop for a deal. It had tracks like Oh Yeah, Eeny Meeny, Mess, etc. He also packaged a collection of his battles called "Best of MC Battles... vol 1." He would use these CDs to spread his name and make some dough. Right after his stint on FF on BET, he released "Best of Jin" which included several freestyles, his FF battles, and his first two tracks. The next mixtape that came out was the "Almost Famous" mixtape which dropped the following summer in anticipation of his then-slated summer release date. The mixtape had notable tracks such as his collabo with Wycled and "Peel Off" which was featured on the 2F2F soundtrack. The following year he released mixtapes, DJ Kool Kid's Yellow Tape", DJ LRM's "History in the Making", and DJ LRM's "Definition of History".
