The project saw heights on “Mama Said (Alternate version)” and “Frontin’ Like Pharrell.”
In 2021, DijahSB received praise from Kid Cudi on Twitter for their video of them rapping with a mask on. DijahSB appeared on NiLL’s February track, “Control,” on which they shined bright. In April of 2021, DijahSB released the project, Head Above the Waters. DijahSB displays some of their influences on the project, with clear nods to artists like Kanye West and Lupe Fiasco.
