He redefines rap through his spiritual approach that is found in his subliminal messages that are concealed in the lyrics he composes.

His singles ‘Pala Mande’, ‘A Â’ and ‘Nefiu’ which have become trap anthems, broke the charts on Apple Music, Spotify and Youtube in record time. Furthermore, he performed at some of the biggest festivals in Europe, where his magnetic performances prove him to be one of the first Romanian artists who creates an impeccable show, using live Auto-Tune on stage as an instrument as well as his impactful stage presence.
Up until now he has come out with 3 albums and 2 EP’s, his most recent album ‘616: Un Nou Capitol’ successfully overpassing 25 million streams on all platforms. His success is owed to his versatility, constant self reinvention and experimental style.
