In 2004, Quan began recording material for his debut album, titled ''Until My Death''.〔 The idea of the album's title came about when Quan recalled: "I got this phrase tattooed across my back when I was a younger. It symbolized a change for me, cause I knew that had I not chose to do something different, the result was gonna be just that — Death. I had come too close, too many times, for God to just keep given me chances." The debut to date has yielded only one official single titled "All for War," which featured production by Mike Wonder and L.E.S.〔 Additionally, the debut album was slated to feature guest appearances by the likes of Nas, Cassidy, The Neptunes and Missy Elliott,〔 however the project was "temporarily" shelved in 2011.〔 Quan confirmed in multiple interviews that he was saving the project for a "major" release and revealed that over the number of years that he had recorded over 400 tracks for the album.〔 In 2008, after meeting producer Just Blaze at a party at a club in Manhattan they got talking and decided to do a joint venture with his label Fort Knocks Entertainment & Nas label Ill Will Records. In 2009, Quan released the album ''Walking Testimony'' which served as an "appetizer" for ''Until My Death''.〔 He has since then continued recording for the mixtape circuit all the while preparing his follow-up album, ''Glorious Struggle''. Now in 2013 Quan stated he has a music catalogue of around 500 songs.
