He achieved two solo number ones on the singles chart from his debut album, The Crusader, which was released in 2003 in New Zealand and later certified four times platinum.

He also reached number one as a featured artist on P-Money's 2004 song "Stop the Music",[5] and in 2010 on R&B singer J.Williams' single "You Got Me".

He invited music guests, DJs and even the general public to participate as extras in the video.

It featured collaborations with New York hip-hop artist Talib Kweli (of Reflection Eternal and Black Star fame) on the track "Be Alright".

The first single off the album in New Zealand, "My Shit", had its video premiere on 12 August 2007 on local music channel C4.

[21] In 2011, in an interview on Campbell Live, Scribe described how he became addicted to drugs, alcohol and gambling between 2005 and 2007 following lacklustre sales of his second album, "Rhyme Book".

[22] Scribe said his arrest was illegal, but he admitted he was "dissing" the police but that "their ego couldn't handle it".

Shortly after the remix's release, Scribe announced that he was working on a third album, titled "Therapy", but it was later shelved.

Scribe is the cousin of other prominent Samoan New Zealand musicians Ladi6[28] and Tyra Hammond of The Opensouls.

[29] His father is Fa'amoana John Luafutu, who wrote the 2022 film A Boy Called Piano, directed by Nina Nawalowalo.

[30][31] Scribe, Matthias and their father John also collaborated with Tom McCrory and Nina Nawalowalo on the stage play A White Guitar in 2015, which was an autobiographical story that did an eight-city sold-out tour in 2016.
