Unfortunately, D Savage had many complications with Cutthroat Records and separated from the record label on September 5, 2017.
With many fans waiting for his debut album, D Savage than signed to Republic Records where he also had complications with the label. With many songs in the vault and waiting to be released, D Savage was just standing by for his label to okay the release of his debut album.
During this time period, D Savage teased the fans with music he was expected to release on his coming album such as Opera, What You Want, and No Smoke. This made fans eager for new music, unfortunately those three songs were leaked online before the album saw an official release.

Fortunately, D Savage was able to sign a deal with Capitol Records which allowed him to finally release his debut album "D Phoenix" on October 12, 2018. However, the Capitol deal prevented him from replacing the songs that leaked previously before the new deal. With many eager fans waiting for the album, D Savage released the album with only four new songs due to the leaking of Opera, What You Want and an alternate version of No Smoke featuring Ron$oCold & TheGoodPerry prior to the release of the album.
"D Phoenix" was a quality album, however some fans were mad at D Savage for putting the leaked songs on the album although he had no choice.
