On January 6, 2019, Deante' Hitchcock was invited to the Dreamville recording sessions for the compilation album Revenge of the Dreamers III, appearing on the song "PTSD".[15] Hitchcock spoke with XXL about the sessions saying "The first day, everybody was surprised as hell when the shit first started popping up. Everybody started seeing folks posting golden tickets and invites. I peeped the location, like, 'Yo, it's in Atlanta? Right here in our backyard.' I ain’t get an invite on the first day. I was feeling some type of way. But I was like, 'That just mean I’ve got to work harder.' That next morning, I got my invite from Mark Pitts. He sent me and [Young] Nudy. I was there every day I could be."[16] He was also a supporting act during the Catch Me If You Can Tour with JID in 2019.[17]

On March 15, he released the EP Just a Sample 2, with guest appearances from Childish Major, H.E.R. and Kilo Ali.
