After high school members of the group went there separate ways, and S.O. the rapper turned in to S.O. the Hustler. After high school S.O. had numerous jobs and hustles including cutting hair, construction work, and just about anything else to earn some money, including running the streets, which kept him in trouble with the law being arrested multiple times in a matter of years.

In 2013 S.O. the Hustler performed for the 1st time ever, in front of New No Limit A & R Dollar Bill, at Cuetopia II. Which he claimed was a good 1st experience, that night he met Dj Whobeta who gave him several opportunities including his 1st radio interview ever, aired on 89.5 the wave and a performance at the 2nd Midwest Best $1000 showcase. From there S.O hired a music manager out of New York who helped him learn the business side of the music industry.
