In 2019, after leaving the Wild West record label, 3robi established his own Spow Business label. The first artist that was signed was his brother Aim. While talking about leaving Wild West, 3robi said: "I thought if I put in more effort, I can fix it all myself. I have a vision and everything I've achieved so far, I've done myself. Also with help, but I did it myself. There is no help in the Netherlands to make us bigger artists. There is not really a label that grabs you and immediately wants to make you a star. It is always more for themselves. ..I have been an artist for many years now and i have been to so many places. I can do it myself man." In 2020, his second album, ''Jonge jongen naar de top 2'', was released. In 2022, 3robi released the collaborative album ''Flex Mood'' with record producer SRNO.
