His debut album was called Diary of a Sinner : 1st Entry.
In 2003, his debut album was nominated for a Grammy, but he didn’t win the award since Eminem did.
He wasn’t discouraged and he was releasing his second album called Still Writing in My Diary: 2nd Entry. It was number 4 on Billboard.
“Freek-a-Leek”, a song which was the lead song of the album, became Petey’s most famous song in his whole career.
It was produced by Lil Jon and it received only positive comments.
After this album, he decided to take a break from music. In that break, he created his music house called Carolina Music Group.

He also made a mixtape which was written when he was in prison, it was called Carolina #1.

He wrote an athem for fans of Carolina Panthers called “Carolina Colors”. The song was loved by Rolling Stone.
