After collaborating with other artists during her early to mid-teens, Jhene’ Aiko took a brief hiatus to finish her education. In 2011, she released her comeback mixtape, Sailing Soul(s), comprised of dreamy, minimal R&B vocals; it was entirely written by Aiko herself and featured collaborations with Drake, Gucci Mane, and Kanye West. The mixtape was certified gold, with over 100,000 downloads to date. In 2012, she signed with Def Jam-ARTium Records and released the single “3:16AM.” The following year proved to be pivotal for Aiko — she featured on Big Sean’s Top 40 hit “Beware” and teamed up with Drake for an appearance on his highly anticipated album Nothing Was the Same. Critics praised her performance with Drake, which raised her profile globally. In November of 2013, Jhene released her debut EP, Sail Out which included “Bed Peace” (featuring Childish Gambino) and “The Worst” which climbed to #1 at Urban Radio. Sail Out is the highest selling EP in Def Jam’s history.
