One of the unique qualities of his sets is he loops parts of tracks and freestyles over them while mixing live, always on tempo with hundreds of patterns which come from him rapping for over a decade. He’s also an event producer and part of the longest running independent music showcase in Leimert Park called BananasLA. Which has had the likes of Anderson Paak, Doja Cat, Kendrick Lamar and countless others sharing the stage with his partner Verbs and team of residents.
