On April 22, 2020, Mack Life announced its return as an independent label, focused on developing new talent.

Later in 2020, Morrison opened Mack Life's own recording studio in Leicester, UK, offering free studio time, through a ‘Drop the Knife, Pick up the Mic’ campaign, in a bid to help combat youth crime.[3]

According to music analytics website Songstats, since Mack Life Records announced its return in 2020, as of February 1, 2023 its independent catalogue had exceeded 12 million streams on Spotify, and 2 million plays on TikTok alone.
