In 2007, he landed his first official placement on the Hi-Technology 3 album for the artist BabyGrande and his second for Hi-Tek entitled "Kill You”. Push Montana was on the album as well.
In 2008, Dr. Dre requested to work Fitzroy on additional music production and vocal arrangement for Detox. He has since worked with Dr. Dre on many other projects.
Fitzroy soon began working with an artist named Gage who was signed to Aftermath / Interscope. There he produced/tracked/mixed on SSL Board at Doppler Studios in Atlanta for 2 years.
Working as a producer and engineering at that time, he produced also and mixed for DMX and CL Smooth, which assisted Fitzroy in developing a new sound.
