The Philly MC first signed to Roc-a-Fella Records in 2001 with the help of Freeway, a friend of Peedi since high school who had already joined the label through Beanie Sigel and his State Property entourage. In 2002, Peedi's debut single, "One for Peedi Crakk," charted in the R&B/hip-hop Top 40. He continued to make appearances on various Roc-a-Fella albums, including Jay-Z's The Blueprint²: The Gift & the Curse and Freeway's Philadelphia Freeway. His guest appearances were usually standouts, and his mixtapes gave him a reputation among East Coast rap fans. Faced with increasing exposure, the Philly rapper decided to modify his rap name to Peedi Peedi.
However, in 2005, two problems greatly affected Peedi's career. State Property dissolved, and Roc-a-Fella Records formally split into two. Jay-Z remaining at Def Jam with 50 percent, and Roc-a-Fella co-founder Dame Dash taking the other 50 percent to Universal Records under his Dame Dash Music Group. Peedi refused to side with Sigel and Dame Dash, and was briefly a free agent until Jay-Z, who soon became the president of Def Jam and maintained the Roc-a-Fella catalogue at the label, signed him. Peedi began working on a debut album, but it was continuously delayed. He did, however, release one single, "Take Me Home," in 2007. Peedi became at odds with the label over his album, and tensions developed between him and Jay-Z. Peedi decided to lashed out against the executive/rapper in the press and leaked several Jay-Z diss tracks, before he was released from his contract in 2008. Peedi then signed with Internet-based label Amalgam Digital and released Camel Face Hunting Season later in 2008.

Yeah, don't even wet it nigga, I got this one
North mothafuckin' Philly boy, fuckin' mafia and all that,
State Property, Peedi Crakk
And I'm G.A.M.E., so please don't tempt me
Yo that 4-5 keep holdin' your boy down,
We'll leave ya in the live, put everything in the ground,
Keep shittin' on the ass everytime I flex ground now
I got my moms to thank, and her boy good
I kiss her 'fore I leave then hit you up in the hood,
A nigga gon' bleed and Peedi don't need good
And I'm G.A.M.E. so please don't tempt me
This one is for my hood, my gun ain't unda the hood,
It's sittin' here on my lap, my cap is under my hood, good my aim good,
My aim good I'm doin' this like I should,
And I'm G.A.M.E. so please don't tempt me
See big up in the hood, with see's sayin he low,
Elle D took a scooter he comin' back with the smokes,
See niggas in the hood nigga beggin a niggas up in there
(Lil' Cease)
Yo, I roll wit Peedi Crakk, I drink booze wit' Free
Smoke a pound wit Young Gunnas, plus I mack wit Beans,
That was Sate P, mad south Mafia Gang,
And them slugs go sting crack a skull in yo brain
And sing yo ass a lullaby, nigga mo' money mo' problems, mo' murda, mo' homicide
Bang, bang, Mafia Gang, we let the drama ride

I'll pop ya cause I'm higher than paranoid,
Sometimes I feel like my niggas is hammer boys
Beat ya to a pulp, like Suge ya daddy boy

I'ma squeeze til' my clips on empty, empty,
Every piece of slug all on your Bentley,
So don't tempt me nigga, I gets busy
G.A.M.E. so please don't tempt me
(Beanie Sigel)
Well they call me be Mack,
But today I got the K, I got the S, I got the A,

And I'm G.A.M.E. wit them things off safety

Keep my vest on my chest, under my SP hood, I'm good
I'm layin' low and my squad are burnin' woods,
And I'm G.A.M.E., so please don't tempt me

Wit them machines that go ahh,
Get off the scence before the cops, ain't nobody seen squat,

Or know where I stand on ya, grown man on ya
Shot can on ya, play a block blam on ya, blam
And blast still all greasy on you,
