Jason was awarded by YouTube for surpassing 3 billion views in less than a year. The video of "The Machine" was the most viewed with 1.5 billion views. "Blue Eyes", his current single, already crossed 200 million views in just three weeks even with the lack of support from Centerstage Records.

After the awarding from YouTube, Jason went to meet Rodney which was spotted by many. There are beliefs that the two artists will collaborate in the future. As announced by Centerstage Records, Jason's album "Winner" will be released with deluxe edition, with new tracks. Fans speculated one of the new tracks will be a collaboration, which Rodney denied.
