Music career
The Exclusives began as songwriters and producers, co-writing the song "Never Window Shopping" for Lloyd on his Zone 4/Interscope release King of Hearts.
Under the mentorship of R&B legend Betty Wright, the duo collaborated with Wright and The Roots, co-writing two songs on their album Betty Wright: The Movie, released on November 15, 2011. The album received mostly positive reviews; Metascore gave it a 73 out of 100. Pen and Vintage co-wrote the songs "Real Woman", featuring Snoop Dogg, and "Baby Come Back", featuring Lenny Williams.
Work on the Betty Wright album afforded them the opportunity to work with The Roots on their first concept album, entitled Undun, which was released on December 2, 2011. The album debuted at No. 17 on Billboard Hot 200; The Exclusives co-wrote the song "The Other Side", featuring Bilal.
In August 2014, The Exclusives inked a publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music.
