Jacob Perez

In September 2018, Perez announced that he'd be releasing an EP within the next year, giving snippets of a few songs that'd he'd been working on. On June 12, 2019, "Perfect World" was released via the Tidal music streaming service.

After the release of their second album, Mindless Behavior had undergone many group member changes. Chresanto August, known as Roc Royal, was removed from the group and later pursued a solo musical career. Management replaced the him with vocalist Mike River, who remained in the group until the announcement of their disbandment in 2017. The group then began working on their third studio album titled "Recharge". It was stated to be released in 2015, but it never was. Soon after, Rayan Lopez, known as Ray Ray, decided to leave the group as well. He was not replaced and the group remained to be a trio. Princeton was the only original member of the group that was formed in 2008. Mindless Behavior then went by MB, which is an acronym of the group's name. Princeton stated that the name change was due to the group's reinvention. After disposing of the #Recharge album, they began working on their third album together, "#OfficialMBMusic", which was released in 2016.

After the album release, the group began shooting a drama film directed by Carl Payne, titled "Misguided Behavior". The film stars Carl Payne, Clifton Powell, Towanda Braxton, Khalil Kain and Mindless Behavior and is set to be released April 11, 2017. Mindless Behavior announced their "#NoParentsAllowed" tour in September 2016. The 23-city tour was said to be sponsored by Alcatel in support of their latest studio album, #OfficialMBMusic. Pre-sale tickets went on sale September 27 and general ticket sales began Friday, September 30. The tour was expected to start November 9, in Greensboro, North Carolina, and end December 17 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. However, in November 2016, it was announced by each group member that the tour had been postponed, many ticket websites showcasing the entire tour as cancelled. In a YouNow, Princeton explained that the group does not control tour dates, and had been trying to schedule dates since earlier that year. There was no explanation given as to why the tour had been cancelled.

In January 2017, Princeton spoke to a fan in his Instagram comments, regarding the hiatus situation with the group. He insinuated that the music industry is a "machine", and that if "certain managers" and record labels allowed Mindless Behavior to own the right to both their music and group name, that they would be allowed to create more music. He stated that he was waiting on the release of more music from Mindless Behavior, just as well as the rest of the fans. Prior to this incident, there were many rumors circulating that Mindless Behavior had disbanded, but that was quickly proved to be false by bandmate Mike River.

During the BET Experience prior to the BET Awards 2017, Perez hosted the Teen Summit panel, which had been removed from syndication in 2002. There, he spoke with individuals about the influence of social media and music within the current generation. Also, presented by Obvious Magazine, he announced that he would be touring and having pop up fan "meetups" in various cities across the United States, including that of New Orleans, Houston, Miami, Atlanta, and many more. The first dates were listed as "Phase 1", which is set to begin July 13, 2017, and conclude August 6. Fans were also allowed win a dinner with Perez (and a friend), in order to be up close and personal with his fans to promote his 2018 Calendar and exclusive merchandise. The pop-up tour was cancelled due to conflicting schedules where Perez would be shooting #WarGames. Fans were refunded in full for their tickets. Perez is set to release his first solo music compilation in 2018, which is being produced by Timeless Music Group.

Following this hiatus, Mindless Behavior were removed from Interscope's roster, and signed a deal with Epic Records. The hiatus of Mindless Behavior following Prodigy's departure led Princeton into his own artistic creations. He would post on his blog, Outsiders Ink, photos or videos of himself in ways that his fans had not seen before. He posted a short film, reciting a poem that he wrote on his blog as well. During an interview in the United Kingdom, Princeton stated that he had not shared his lyrics with fans before, but was always thinking of new lyrics in his mind. He told the interviewer how he was beginning to influence Mindless Behavior's music more often when in the studio with their producer, Walter Millsap. Not long after, in another interview that featured the group in January 2015, both Princeton and Lopez stated they had been working on projects outside of the group that included music and fashion. "Don't Believe in Love", a reggae fusion-pop inspired track, was his first solo record that he released on his SoundCloud account. The song has since reached over 750,000 listens as of January 2018.

Princeton has openly supported People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and its initiatives to end the mistreatment and abuse of animals. In a 2015 campaign for the peta2's Hottest Vegetarian Celebrities, Princeton won alongside Zendaya.

Princeton expressed a strong interest in fashion while in the group. When entertaining the idea of not being a member of Mindless Behavior, he spoke about either being a backup dancer for another artist, or a fashion designer, stating "Anything creative and entertaining, I'll be there." He exclaimed his style as more androgynous, with a mixture of punk meeting urban. His musical influences of Prince, Michael Jackson, and a compilation of many rock bands, heavily influenced his style and mannerisms. Outside of Mindless Behavior, he participated as a judge in the "Face of Spoiled Show & Contest" with Eva Marcille in July 2014.

In July 2012, the group headlined their largest U.S. tour. The tour held the same name as their debut album. The No. 1 Girl Tour held opening acts from artists Jacob Latimore, Lil Twist, and Kayla Brianna. While on tour, the group visited the Ronald McDonald House in Georgia to cheer up some of the young patients who were battling cancer. In 2013, the group embarked on their All Around The World Tour. Since joining Mindless Behavior, Princeton, along with former bandmates Roc Royal, Ray Ray and Prodigy, have released two albums, performed on tour, and sold over 327,000 album copies in the United States. Later within the year, many news sources announced that there would be a new member after the group's lead singer, Craig Crippen Jr., who known as Prodigy, had left the group. After lead singer Prodigy left the group, Mindless Behavior did not release any material. As seen in many interviews, there had only been Princeton, Roc Royal, and Ray Ray, which meant that there hadn't been a lead singer introduced. For almost two years, Mindless Behavior participated in interviews, and even held shows for their fans, without a lead singer. However, many of these shows included nothing but the band performing dance routines, while Prodigy's voice played in the background. Elijah Johnson replaced him as the lead singer in April 2014.

Before headlining their own tours, Mindless Behavior toured with many established musicians, such as The Backstreet Boys, Jason Derulo, Justin Bieber, and was an opening act for Janet Jackson during her Number Ones, Up Close and Personal tour. The group had become quite popular from appearing on BET's 106 & Park, and also headlined the first BET Closer to My Dreams Tour alongside Diggy Simmons, Lil Twist, Trevante and Jawan Harris. In 2011, Mindless Behavior headlined the Scream Tour with Diggy Simmons, which featured The OMG Girlz, Jacob Latimore, and Hamilton Park. The group also performed at the White House twice, and were the first African American boy band to do so. Also in 2011, they performed at the prestigious White House Easter Egg Roll. In 2012, they were performers at Arthur Ashe Kids' Day. In 2013, the group performed for Wade's World Foundation, an organization by Dwyane Wade that provides support to community-based organizations that promote education, health and social skills for children in at-risk situations. They were also welcomed back to the White House to perform at the Kids Inaugural Ball.

He was included in two Gym Class Heroes music videos, including Shoot Down the Stars (as a young school child), and Cupid's Chokehold (as Cupid Boy). Perez rose to fame as a member of the boy band Mindless Behavior, in which he remained from 2008 until the group's disbandment in 2017.

In 2006, Perez was cast in two Gym Class Heroes music videos. "Shoot Down the Stars" followed him as a younger version of Travie McCoy, being bullied by other students. The video ends in various children, including Princeton, dancing in a school talent show and on the school's playground. "Cupid's Chokehold", however portrayed him as a young Cupid, shooting Travie with a bow and arrow, causing Travie to express his love for various women in the video. He was also featured on the album art for the single. In an interview with AwesomenessTV, Princeton has said that he had also danced backup for Nicole Scherzinger.
