Since 2007, the young artist has released 5 independent record label mixtapes. under LA clothing and management company Peas&Carrots Intl. His most recent tape, Customized Greatly Vol. 3, was released on April 9, 2012.

Casey released his first mixtape Customized Greatly Vol. 1 at the age of 14. While Casey was originally one of the founding members of the hip hop group OFWGKTA, appearing on the groups first effort The Odd Future Tape, he decided to branch out on his own after his first mixtape release. In an interview with Respect Mag, Casey stated it as:
"It’s hard to explain, really, but I just had more of a [different] vision for my own rap career. I wanted to do my own thing."<
Following up that project with Customized Greatly Vol. 2, Veggies began to work closely with friends Joshton Peas and Anwar Carrots to help establish PNCINTL, better known as Peas & Carrots International. Having worked with Def Jam artist YG on his 2nd mixtape, Veggies began to take rap much more seriously. In an interview with The Madbury Club, Veggies discussed how "strategic sponsorships, limited merchandise, organic partnerships, social presence and influence ability have proved fundamental in the success of Peas & Carrots and thus, Casey Veggies".
I don't see me mad at situations, I see me turn and
walk away
I see a tattoo on my right thigh that I will probably
regret one day
Yeah, I will probably regret one day
But now, I am happy to be bonding in a kitchen with my
friends
A spool of thread, a few more good vibes, a safety pin
and a ballpoint pen
A safety pin and a ballpoint pen
A safety pin and a ballpoint pen
And a ballpoint pen
But there are answers here, they're just harder to
figure out
Since all your questions got harder to dodge and dip
around
And there is nothing wrong with my lifestyle
No matter how many times I tell myself to breathe in,
hold it, hold it, now let it out, now let it out
One day I will realize I don't need this because it is
just not who I am
Until that day comes, I'll keep my eyes closed, and I
will try to feel all of the effects
Yeah, I will try to feel all of the effects
And now I am talking way too fast and a little bit
louder than I should,
Trying to say thank you for understanding my side of
the story the best that you could
My side of the story the best that you could
My side of the story the best that you could
The best that you could
But there are answers here, they're just harder to
figure out
Since all your questions got harder to dodge and dip
around
And there is nothing wrong with your lifestyle
No matter how many times they tell themselves just
breathe in, hold it, hold it, now let it out
And this is how the cool boyfriend sits in the
passenger seat of his girlfriend's car
He's lookin' at me, I wish the light would turn green,
set me free, oh set me free, oh set me
Teach my rolling veins where there's a will, there is a
Just cut me open, let me drain, oh let me drain, oh let
me drain, oh let me
I'll move to Florida, and I'll buy a brand new pick-up
truck
And I'll tint all the windows including the driver's
side
Now you can't see me, so you can't touch me
When I sit at the red light and watch your boyfriend
wonder if I'm inside
