Right after, he released his track "Ginseng", which also performed well online. Following "Ginseng", he released "Bloody Runtz", showcasing his new wave voice and experimental audio. He also followed through with the release of singles "Fly As Hell" and "Converse".

Entering the year 2023, Corleo released his debut extended play (EP) 2014. The EP has six songs and features from rappers such as Lunchbox and Highway. The EP saw Corleo "[flow] over instrumentals flooded with chopped vocals, ethereal synths and rolling 808s", according to Our Generation Music's Claire Yotts. After a decline in activity for a few months, and releasing just a few singles, Corleo released his second studio album, titled On My Own, which has 14 tracks and features from Yung Kayo and Fimiguerrero. Corleo released a deluxe edition of the album, which featured seven new tracks, with two featuring a reappearance from Yung Kayo. Corleo later appeared as a guest rapper for artists such as Killy and Fourfive.
