In May 2018, Vanta had finished recording the new album and felt it was time to begin the rollout. He sent it to the label, and they approved the release. "FOREVER" was released as the lead single on June 29, 2018. The Soul-Rap-inspired song showed fans the new direction Vanta was heading in. He wanted this album to show how versatile he could be with his music, and this song was already a clear first sign.

For the visuals of the era, Vanta was leaning more into the avant-garde and wanted everything to be appealing to the eye. He worked closely with French director Louis Laurent, the CEO of Sebastien Laurent, a high-end, designer brand created by Sebastien Armand and Louis Laurent. Together, Louis and Vanta worked on 6 music videos for the album. (FOREVER, LOSING MY MIND, DESIRES, DIFFERENT WAYS, CELINE, and SUNNY ROSE). Each visual tested the limits even further, with Vanta's team experimenting with CGI, 3D animation, etc. And the merch was no different; Sebastien Laurent custom-designed 3 pieces for Vey, which were sold for $100 each (Tee, Pants, Hat)

On July 13, 2018, "LOSING MY MIND" was released as the second single. This time around, Vanta was experimenting with Electronic sounds, and the video was also striking, featuring a boy killing a crow. People praised Vanta's work, with people truly acknowledging him trying to express himself differently than every other rapper. Vanta only wanted to push the norms even more, which meant it was time to release his debut album.

"No Religion" was released on July 27, 2018. Although it didn't debut on the charts, it managed to sell 9,300 copies in the first week. 3,000 were a limited supply of physical CDs that Vanta had made with his signature on them. All 3,000 CDs sold out on his website in just 25 hours. 2 days later, Vanta would announce his first-ever headlining concert tour. Scheduled for September - December 2018, hitting the US, UK, Italy, and Canada, with venue sizes ranging from 800-3,000 people. Since it was Vanta's first tour, he wanted Amara with him. She was so excited and decided to not participate in Fashion Week in September to watch him play and celebrate his 19th birthday with him.

For 3 months straight, Vanta rocked out every show, not cancelling a single one. Every night, he gave the crowd unlimited energy. They turned up to every song, rapping word for word with Vanta. He never felt more alive. He was living his dream, and it never felt better. The tour grossed about £129,000 ($175,000 in USD) after 25 shows.

In December 2018, Jalen bought Amara and him a new apartment in New York. That same month, they went back to Birmingham, where they decided they'd spend the upcoming year. For Christmas, Jalen bought Amara a $160,000 BMW. She loved it so much that she cried. The following month, the couple celebrated New Year's together before Amara left Birmingham to model in Los Angeles for the next 6 months. Vanta decided he'd use this time to begin working on some new projects.

In February 2019, JEMVEY released its Winter/Spring 2019 Collection. While working on it, Jalen's addiction grew. He was pouring up almost daily. He didn't even care how much he was spending on drugs, as long as he had fuel to work. This only got worse as he began working on the Summer 2019 collection. During production on the collection, Jalen was more focused than ever. He was so excited to present the new collection to the world.

By now, Vanta had over 700,000 followers on Instagram, over 2M monthly listeners on Spotify, and the world in his hands. He was working on so many cool things, and it was only a matter of time before the world would see a whole new level of Vanta Vey.
