Often compared to Drake, Kirko told BallerStatus, "I look at it like this: I just started. They've been around forever and they're million dollar n****s. I know that the more that I do it, the more that my sound is going to get me more in my own lane. Eventually, people are going to catch on."
The success of "Drank in My Cup" pushed him harder to make better music. "I'm working on another mixtape and my album. I don't have a name or a date for the album yet, but it's a priority though," he spilled. "I really haven't started working on it yet, but I know I'm about to start. I have the Procrastination Kills series, so I might come back down and do the Procrastination Kills 4."
