Supported by the singles "New Freezer" (featuring Kendrick Lamar) and "Plug Walk", the album peaked at number two on the Billboard 200. His second and third studio albums, The World Is Yours 2 (2019) and Boss Man (2020) peaked at numbers four and 24 on the chart, respectively.

His 2024 single, "Carnival" (with ¥$ featuring Playboi Carti) marked a period of resurgence as it peaked atop the Billboard Hot 100, becoming his first song to do so. Its co-performers, Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign, executive produced Roger's fourth studio album, Life's a Gamble.[6]
