걸어온 길

He signed with Just Music in 2011 and debuted with the single 〈You Look So Good To Me〉. The next year he released the EP 《치명적인 앨범》, a collection of songs he had written in high school.

He took part in Mnet's 《쇼미더머니 3》 in 2014, and 〈설렘주의〉, sung with NS Yoon-G, reached No. 6 on the charts. He made his name with emotional songs mixing rap and singing.

〈왕복 30분〉 and 〈호구〉 in 2015 and 〈교통정리〉 with Heize in 2019 were loved. He has served as a producer on the 《쇼미더머니》 series several times.

He stayed steadily active, releasing a full-length album almost every year. In 2024 he moved to Standard Friends, founded by Zion.T, and in 2025 released the full-length album 《제가 말주변이 없어서》.
