He became a favourite on the club scene often playing with "The Native Huts Allstars" and was eventually discovered by DJ Cleo during a stint doing "Rap Activity Jams" on YFM radio.
His first album was produced by Cleo and released in 2004, selling 50,000 copies in South Africa with hit singles Pitch Black Afro, Matofotofo & A Day in my Life.
