In 2015, the group self-released Live from the Dentist Office, their 11-track debut project with features from Chuck Inglish, Curtis Williams, Glass Popcorn, and Demi Hughes.[3] The mixtape was released through multiple digital platforms such as SoundCloud, iTunes, Tidal, and Spotify.[4] The project was later commercialized in physical copies through Injury Reserve's online store.[5] Live from the Dentist Office received general critical acclaim from music critics. On December 15, 2016, Injury Reserve released their second mixtape titled Floss, released again through a variety of digital platforms. The mixtape featured Vic Mensa and Cakes da Killa, to similar acclaim. Both projects were actually recorded in a dental office after all the patients had left, which belonged to their producer's grandfather.[6]

On September 29, 2017, the group released an EP titled Drive It Like It's Stolen, preceded by the singles "North Pole" (featuring Austin Feinstein), "See You Sweat", and "Boom (x3)". All of the singles were released with accompanying music videos. They joined Ho99o9 and The Underachievers on separate tours in 2017.

In 2019, following their debut album, the group embarked on a world headlining tour.
