On October 25, 2010, Spose announced through a series of Facebook posts (which were linked to Twitter) that he felt that We Smoked It All Vol. 2 had too many original songs to be considered a mixtape. Partially because of this, he decided to create a "project" titled Happy Medium with many original songs that were originally supposed to be on We Smoked It All Vol. 2, in addition to other material. He also said that new songs from Happy Medium would be released at 4:20 PM Eastern Time every Wednesday up until the release of "Happy Medium."[17]
On December 17, 2010, Spose released the entirety of Happy Medium for streaming on his Facebook page. The physical album was released in Bull Moose music stores in late December 2010, and has been released on iTunes in January 2011.[18] On January 31, 2011, he announced that he would release The Peter Sparker Mixtape later that year, before The Audacity! or We Smoked It All Vol. 2. However, on March 14, he posted that We Smoked It All Vol.2 would be released on April 20, 2011, before either The Peter Sparker Mixtape or The Audacity!.
We Smoked It All Vol. 2 was released on April 20, 2011 at midnight. Spose has also been featured in "Red Cup (I Fly Solo)" by Cash Cash and "Better Side of Me" by Sparks the Rescue.[citation needed] Spose announced in an interview with 92.3 Now that he had left Universal Republic Records. He began The Audacity! from scratch. In January 2012, "I'm Awesome" became the theme to the comedy series Mr. D.
Spose released the music video for his single "Pop Song" on February 22, 2012 and announced that The Audacity! will be released on April 17, 2012. Spose's third album The Audacity!, was released on April 16, 2012 on iTunes. On October 24, 2012, Spose paid for a fundraiser on kickstarter to raise $25,000 to help further fund his rapping career. Once funded, Spose released Dankonia for free in 2013. The Yard Sale was successfully crowdfunded through Kickstarter as of November 23, 2012, raising $28,147, and released on October 24, 2012.

God Damn
Spose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics of Spose's song 'God Damn' are an expression of the rapper's frustration and despair at the consequences of his criminal behavior. He recounts his first arrest when he was high and the subsequent arrests that followed. Instead of feeling guilty, he maintained a cavalier attitude about his criminal behavior, but the gravity of his situation began to sink in when he faces court cases and potentially substantial fines. He even contemplated dropping out of college, disappointed by his situation, and lamented his lost potential. In the end, Spose acknowledged that he needed to change his ways and take responsibility for his actions. He admitted to still indulging in weed and beer, but he has a newfound sense of consciousness and intelligence.
The song's theme is a common narrative in hip-hop: young black men whose environment and life circumstances often leave them feeling powerless, and whose coping mechanism is criminal activity. Despite the apparent nonchalance in the lyrics, the anguish and uncertainty in Spose's life are palpable through the lines.
The song's tempo is minimalistic but infectious, with a melancholic and forlorn hook that reflects the themes of the lyrics. As the song progresses, the tempo gradually speeds up, adding to the tension and urgency of the situation, perhaps suggesting the notion that time is running out for Spose.
