In 2008, Damu released two free albums primarily composed of instrumental music, titled Spare Time[9] and Overtime.
He developed a fan base through his YouTube videos and live street performances around Washington, DC, and New York City,[10] using a portable electricity generator to power his sampler and speakers.
[11] In 2019, he collaborated with Raw Poetic and legendary jazz saxophonist Archie Shepp on the improvised album Ocean Bridges,[3] which he released on his label the following year.
[12] In January 2020, Damu visited the London KPM music library,[13] renowned for a collection that has been sampled by artists including MF Doom and Jay-Z.
[14] Damu was invited as the first artist to be featured on the Def Pressé / KPM Crate Diggers series, an initiative to release records extensively featuring samples from the library; his work with material from the archives resulted in the album Conversation Peace.
