Following sit-in jam sessions and gatherings, Bassi released his debut singles and became known in the Italian hip hop scene as a DJ in the late eighties and early nineties.

In 1995 he founded the label "Mixmen Connection" together with El Presidente, and he collaborated the following year with DJ Zeta.

Bassi worked on projects and live shows alongside DJ Gruff and Kaos One, including the first edition of Hip Hop Village in Torino in 1995.

He released Contro gli estimatori, his first full-length album, which included collaborations with Tormento of Sottotono, El Presidente and La Pina on his own Mixman label.

He also produced beats for several american artists such as Coolio, Rakim, Busta Rhymes, Talib Kweli, M.O.P., Joell Ortiz, Jim Jones, Lloyd Banks and others.
