The group was made in 2015 because the people in it were good friends and used to make songs together under their solo names a lot but decided to come together to perform under the "Full Circle" group name.[3][4] They released the song "Full-Circle" named after the groups name in 2016 and was produced by Boi-1da.[5] The group released the songs "Income" and "El Chapo" in 2016 too. Full Circle member Smoke Dawg was shot dead in 2018. Their manager Kosi Modekwe was also killed.[6][7][8]
