His music can arguably be classified as neo-soul. He released a double LP in 2002 entitled The Headphone Masterpiece, which was recorded in his bedroom recording studio, which he calls The Sonic Promiseland. He is notable for his audacity and ego in his music, as well as his insistence on capitalizing the last two letters of his last name. His closest brush with mainstream success came in 2002, when the hip-hop group The Roots remade a song from his album, "The Seed", for their album, Phrenology. The remade version was entitled "The Seed (2.0)" to distinguish it from ChesnuTT's original version. ChesnuTT plays guitar and sings vocals on the track, and appears in its music video, which received heavy airplay on MTV and BET. Cody also recieved some exposure from an "MTV YOU Hear It First" segment where it featured Cody.

He released a 6-track EP entitled Black Skin No Value on December 7, 2010. His long-awaited second full length album, Landing on a Hundred, arrived on October 30, 2012.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do what I say, fuck you bitch
Do what I say, fuck you broke ass nigga
Always talking about what you ain't got
Listen, tell me what's on your mind
I don't feel like talking
Tell me what you feel
Fuck you nigga
I don't feel like discussing nothing at all

There's always a war between the sexes
To find out who the fucking best is
There's always a war between the sexes
To find the weakness in the strongest

Listen to me now
I'm gonna give it just like this
On a freestyle, and I just might miss
But that's okay
When you get it, you're gonna understand it anyway

It's a war between the sexes
To find out who the fucking best is
There's always a war between the sexes
To find the weakness in the strongest

And I feel alive
I feel alive
But she breaks me down and she makes me cry
Then I feel like I wanna die

It's a war between the sexes
To find out who the fucking best is
There's always a war between the sexes
To find the weakness in the strongest

Come here girl, come here boy
Here's my toy, here's my money
Come here girl, come here boy
Here's my toy, here's my honey

It's a war between the sexes
To find out who the fucking best is
There's always a war between the sexes
To find the weakness in the strongest

I got bills to pay, I got money to earn
I got life to give, I got money to burn

I got life and hos, I got my hos and hos
And *cough* and niggas and froze
