In order to fulfill his contract with Def Jam, Ocean released the visual project Endless exclusively on Apple Music the day before releasing Blonde. His second album, Blonde, was released in 2016 and was subject to controversy after Ocean endured protracted contract disputes with Def Jam, which led to the album suffering repeated delays. The album contained the singles "Thinkin Bout You", "Pyramids" and "Sweet Life", with the former peaking inside the top 40 in the US and gaining him a nomination for Record of the Year at the 55th Annual Grammy Awards. The album received universal acclaim from critics and won Ocean his first Grammy Award, for Best Urban Contemporary Album. Ocean released his debut studio album, Channel Orange, in July 2012 it debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 and was soon certified platinum. Ocean subsequently secured a recording contract with Def Jam Recordings in 2012. The mixtape was a critical success and generated the single "Novacane", which peaked at number 82 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was later certified platinum. Ocean began his musical career as a ghostwriter, prior to joining hip hop collective Odd Future in 2010, and the following year released Nostalgia, Ultra, his debut mixtape.
