Just after&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/artist\/hernandez-mn0003834562\">Hernandez<\/a>&nbsp;reportedly pled guilty to three felony counts of using a child in a sexual performance, &#8220;GUMMO,&#8221; his first widely distributed single, entered the Billboard Hot 100 and eventually peaked at number 12. Follow-up &#8220;KOODA&#8221; arrived at the end of the year, at which point&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/artist\/hernandez-mn0003834562\">Hernandez<\/a>&nbsp;had also recorded with the likes of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/artist\/yung-beef-mn0003923107\">Yung Beef<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/artist\/trippie-redd-mn0003626953\">Trippie Redd<\/a>, and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/artist\/mo-dollaz-mn0003000109\">Mo Dollaz<\/a>.

At the end of the year, hit with sexual assault, racketeering, and firearms charges, he issued his official debut LP,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/album\/dummy-boy-mw0003232495\">Dummy Boy<\/a>, which climbed to number two on the Billboard 200 while he remained in prison awaiting trial. He was given a two-year jail sentence in February of 2019, but in April of the following year, he was released early when the COVID-19 pandemic posed a threat to his underlying asthma condition. Under house arrest for the remainder of his sentence, he quickly started releasing new music. His aggressive single &#8220;Gooba&#8221; was released in May on the rapper&#8217;s 24th birthday and debuted at number three on the Billboard Hot 100.
