His 2019 album Last Train To Shibuya, on which he invited 9 Tokyo artists, was a big hit in the Japanese hip-hop scene. In 2022, he collaborated with rapper Lipstorm and together they presented an EP entitled "Never Stop", which was followed in 2023 by a new collaboration with rapper Ish-One in an EP entitled "Ninjas in Paris".
