He then began producing [EDM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_dance_music "Electronic dance music") singles in 2012 under the moniker Carnage, and signed with [Ultra Records](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra_Records "Ultra Records") to release his 2014 single "Bricks" (with [Migos](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migos "Migos")), which was followed by "Incredible" (with [Borgore](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borgore "Borgore")), and "Toca" (with [Timmy Trumpet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timmy_Trumpet "Timmy Trumpet") and [KSHMR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KSHMR "KSHMR")) both in the following year. His debut studio album, [*Papi Gordo*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papi_Gordo "Papi Gordo") (2015) peaked atop the [Dance/Electronic Albums](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dance/Electronic_Albums "Dance/Electronic Albums") chart and narrowly entered the [*Billboard* 200](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_200 "Billboard 200").
