That year, Mozzy also collaborated with Skylar Grey, Polo G, and Eminem on “Last One Standing” for the Venom: Let There Be Carnage soundtrack, which charted at number 78 on the Billboard Hot 100.

In February 2022, Mozzy signed with Yo Gotti’s Collective Music Group and Interscope Records, marking the next step in his career.
