In October 2018, Fox released his first song, "Square Up" in collaboration with hip hop producer Kenny Beats.[5]
In April 2019, Fox appeared on The Cave, a YouTube series in which Kenny Beats invites different artists to freestyle in his studio. Kenny and Fox recorded "Jesus Is the One (I Got Depression)," in the episode, and the song reached the number one spot on Spotify's U.S. viral chart on July 8, 2019.[6] The two never intended to release the song commercially, but after its success they released an official version of it in June.[6]
