He was the first artist to sign with Drake's record label OVO Sound, an imprint of Warner Records, in 2013. His self-titled debut mixtape was released through the label in July that year, and met with critical praise.
His debut studio album, PartyNextDoor Two (2014), was supported by the single "Recognize" (featuring Drake), which received quadruple platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). His second album, PartyNextDoor 3 (2016), peaked at number three on the Billboard 200, while spawning his first Canadian Hot 100 and Billboard Hot 100 entries with its singles "Come and See Me" (featuring Drake) and "Not Nice". His third album, Partymobile (2020), matched the chart position of its processor; it spawned the single "Believe It" (with Rihanna), which became his first to enter the Billboard Hot 100's top 40. His fourth album, PartyNextDoor 4 (2024), was followed by his collaborative album with label boss Drake, Some Sexy Songs 4 U (2025), which became his first to debut atop both the Billboard Canadian Albums and Billboard 200.
Outside of recording, PartyNextDoor has been active in production and songwriting for other artists. He was credited on Rihanna's 2016 single "Work" and DJ Khaled's 2017 single "Wild Thoughts", which peaked at numbers one and two on the Billboard Hot 100, respectively. PartyNextDoor has also contributed to releases by Kanye West, Usher, Christina Aguilera, Post Malone, City Girls, Ne-Yo, Justine Skye, and Jay Park, among others.
