Music Robinson was a member of the satirical hip-hop group The Trilambs, performing under the name "Matty Boom." The group took a sideways look at the excessive world of rap culture, mocking the glorification of materialism, misogyny and homophobia. Their only album, entitled ''It Wasn't Not Funny'', was released in 2001. They released a second 6-song EP titled
The Jacket Smasher EP.
Screenwriting Robinson wrote a script, which was titled
This Side of Truth at the time, which was included in the 2007 official
Black List of the "most liked" un-produced scripts in Hollywood. Robinson and producer
Lynda Obst sent
Ricky Gervais the script out of the blue in the hope that it would spark his interest. Gervais loved it and eventually flew Robinson to London to retool the script and make the movie which became
The Invention of Lying (2009). Robinson's original idea for a feature film grew from a skit he wrote about two people on a date who don't have the ability to lie. He later expanded on the idea for more skits with the same premise and then adapted them into a full film script. Robinson ended up co-directing the movie with Gervais. Robinson wrote the original script for
Monster Trucks (2016), while the shooting script was written by
Derek Connolly. Robinson received a story credit. On December 7, 2016, it was reported that
Greg Berlanti was set to direct a revamped film of the musical
The Little Shop of Horrors (1960) with Robinson writing the script. In March 2019, it was reported that Robinson would rewrite the screenplay for the
Edge of Tomorrow (2014) sequel. Robinson was reported to be writing the upcoming
Star Wars spin-off film
Rogue Squadron, prior to its cancellation in March 2023.
