The news came as a surprise to many social media users. JAY B joined the label last year during his group GOT7’s hiatus and released his solo debut EP, SOMO:FUME. Following Sik-K’s participation in Show Me The Money 4 in 2015, he started releasing music under H1GHR Music in 2017, including five EPs: BOYCOLD and H.A.L.F (Have.A.Little.Fun) (2017), TRAPART (2018), S.O.S (Sink Or Swim) (2019), Officially OG (2020); and two full-length albums FL1P (2019) and Headliner (2020).

Shortly after H1GHR Music’s announcement, CDNZA Records took to Twitter to welcome JAY B to their label. “Welcome to CDNZA Records’ new family, JAYB! Please look forward to CDNZA Records and JAYB’s various activities,” they wrote.
