In March 2017, Scott announced he would be launching his own
imprint, under the name of
Cactus Jack Records. During an interview, Scott said, "I'm not doing it to have financial control over my music. I want first and foremost to help other artists, launch new names, to provide opportunities. I want to do for them what happened to me, but better." In September 2017, fellow American rapper
Smokepurpp signed to the label, but he left sometime later in 2019. In February 2018, the label signed
Sheck Wes in a joint deal with
Interscope Records and
GOOD Music. In August,

Astroworld (2018), artists Wes and Toliver began to rise to popularity after they appeared on the album. Wes's June 2017 single, "
Mo Bamba", went viral in 2018 and Toliver's May 2019 single, "
No Idea", went viral on the app
TikTok in the same year. Wes and Toliver both helped Scott on
Astroworld, with Wes being featured alongside fellow American rapper
Juice Wrld on "
No Bystanders" and Toliver being featured on "
Can't Say". On November 29, 2019, Scott released JackBoys merchandise on his website, including a digital album preorder for $10. On December 24, Scott revealed on
