In 2011 he relocated to South Africa and began his musical career with the release of his sophomore album in 2013.[4]

In 2019, the Nigerian-born South African-based artist returned with his second album, "Tears Sweat Blood," which topped charts in several countries and entered at number one on the iTunes Hip-Hop South Africa chart[5] on the first day of release.
