=== 2011–present: Songwriting, new label and ''ATLA'' === In 2011, Stat Quo was cited at [[Dr. Dre]]'s Aftermath Entertainment website as a signed songwriter to [[Aftermath Entertainment]]. On July 23, 2012 [[Wiz Khalifa]] released a song titled "Far from Coach" as a promotional single from his second studio album ''[[O.N.I.F.C.]]'', the track features former Aftermath Entertainment artists Stat Quo and [[Game (rapper)|Game]], although the song didn't make the cut in the album. The reunion formed a business partnership from both Stat Quo and Game. In late 2012, both rappers founded Rolex Records, which was later renamed to The Firm. Both artists will use the label to release new music and sign other artists.<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Pajer |first=Nicole |url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/the-juice/473921/game-launching-rolex-records-were-gonna-do-it-big |title=Game Launching Rolex Records: 'We're Gonna Do It Big' – The Juice |magazine=Billboard |date=December 1, 2012 |access-date=December 10, 2012}}</ref> He also executive produced and appeared on a hidden skit in ''[[Jesus Piece (album)|Jesus Piece]]'', The Game's fifth studio album and last under [[Interscope Records]].
