On December 2nd, Epic Records/Freebandz released The Track Burnaz produced single, "Bad Tings"[13] by Zoey Dollaz featuring DB Bantino. The Track Burnaz contributed to Big Sean's fourth studio album, I Decided.[14] on the track "Inspire Me" (produced by The Track Burnaz, Detail and Sidney Swift) and on Future's HNDRXX album with the song, "Use Me".[15] I Decided. was certified Gold[16] by the RIAA in April 2017.
