This would begin a trend where all his new mixtapes would also be released to iTunes.[7][8] On November 12, 2012 Iamsu! released another mixtape $uzy 6 Speed, featuring guest appearances by Juvenile, Problem and Wiz Khalifa. It contained the single "Mobbin'" and received critical acclaim upon release.[9][3][10] On February 13, 2013 Iamsu! and Problem, who he had met for the first time at the "Function" video shoot, released a collaboration mixtape titled Million Dollar Afro.[11] The mixtape would be praised by Tom Breihan of Stereogum and Spin named the mixtape one of the best rap releases of 2013.[12][13] It featured guest appearances by Juvenile, King L, Bad Lucc, Too Short, Omarion, Short Dawg, and Wiz Khalifa among others.[14] Following the release of the mixtape he toured with Problem on the 10-stop "Million Dollar Afro Tour".[11] On March 5, 2013 Spin named Iamsu! the tenth "Hottest MC in the Game".[15]

II: Me Time. He would make an appearance on the song "Livin" from B.O.A.T.S. II: Me Time.[20]
