He accepted and was then part of the Ruff Ryder family and his first album on the Ruff Ryder label. "The Rest is History" (2004) was Jin's rookie album and he released two singles "Learn Chinese" which was produced by Wyclef and "Senorita".
On May 18, 2005 Jin released a song named "I Quit". The song was widely misunderstood because of its name. People thought that Jin had quit the rap game but he hasn't, as he stated that he went off to explore other things.

In 2006 Jin will release 2 albums, one of which will be called "100 Grand Jin" with "FYI" as its single which he also shot a video for. Jin is also working on a project where he is planning on releasing a Cantonese album called "ABC Jin", where ABC stands for American Born Chinese. The album will be released internationally and "ABC Jin" will be rapped in all Cantonese.
Jin's style of rapping consists of strong punchlines, and used this skill in the battles he won. His punchlines hardly ever uses metaphors that require much thought to decipher, and his bars are clean cut and powerful when used in battles. Such battles against Verse, Shells, RK, and his 106 & Park battles are great examples of his style of rapping and battling.

窓を開けてみると
何処からか迷い込んだ鳥の声
読みかけの本を置き
「どこから来たんだい」と笑う
目隠ししたままの 午後三時です
世界は案外シンプルで
複雑に怪奇した 私なんて
街外れ 森の中
人目につかないこの家を
訪れる人など居ない訳で
目を合わせないで!
固まった心 一人ぼっちで諦めて
目に映った無機物に
安堵する日々は
物語の中でしか知らない
世界に少し憧れることくらい
許してくれますか?
淡々と流れ出した
生まれてしまった理不尽でも
案外人生なんで
私の中じゃ
ねぇねぇ 突飛な未来を
想像して膨らむ世界は
今日か明日でも
ノックしてくれないですか?
なんて妄想なんかして
外を眺めていると
突然に聴こえてきたのは喋り声
飲みかけのハーブティーを
机中に撒き散らし
「どうしよう」
とドアの向こうを見つめました
「目を合わせると
石になってしまう」
それは両親に聞いたこと
私の目もそうなっている様で
物語の中なんかじゃいつも
怖がられる役ばかりで
そんな事知ってる訳で
トントン と響きだした
ノックの音は初めてで
緊張なんてものじゃ
足りないくらいで
ねぇねぇ 突飛な世界は
想像してるよりも
実に簡単にドアを
開けてしまうものでした
目を塞ぎうずくまる姿に
その人は驚いて
「目を見ると石になってしまう」
と言うとただ笑った
「僕だって石になってしまうと
怯えて暮らしてた
でも世界はさ 案外怯えなくて
良いんだよ?」
タンタン と鳴り響いた
心の奥に溢れてた
想像は世界に少し鳴り出して
ねぇねぇ 突飛な未来を
教えてくれたあなたが
また迷った時は
ここで待っているから
夏風が今日もまた
あなたがくれた服の
フードを少しだけ
揺らしてみせた
The lyrics of Jin's song "Kuusou Forest" tell a story about a person who is isolated and misunderstood. The song begins with the singer hearing a knock on their window and discovering a bird's voice that has somehow found its way inside. They pause their reading and ask the bird where it came from, laughing at the absurdity of the situation. The singer describes themselves as a complex and peculiar person who goes unnoticed by others, living in a house in the outskirts of town, deep in the forest. They plead for others not to make eye contact with them and lament their lonely and resigned heart.
The singer finds solace in the inanimate objects they see, as their days are filled with relief and comfort in the realm of imagination and stories. They confess to yearning for a world that exists only in their dreams and wonder if it's okay to cherish such aspirations. Despite the world being indifferent and unfair, the singer still wishes for an extraordinary future and fantasizes about a world beyond the confines of their current reality. They long for someone to come knocking, disrupting their mundane life and offering a thrilling and unexpected future.
As the singer gazes outside, they suddenly hear the sound of voices and spill their half-empty herbal tea in surprise. They contemplate what to do and recall their parents' warnings about turning to stone if they make eye contact. They admit to always being cast as the frightened character in stories and feeling knowledgeable about such matters. However, for the first time, they hear a knock that resounds with an unfamiliar sound, causing even more anticipation and nervousness. The singer realizes that the extraordinary world they fantasize about is much simpler than imagined, as the knocking effortlessly opens doors.

Caresses the hood of the clothing you gave me
フードを少しだけ
And gently sways it
