He is known for his versatility across his tracks with a flow that fuses many styles, from dancehall to reggae to hip-hop and bashment, evoking artists as disparate as Ludacris, Kardinal Offishall and Pharoache Monch. He is known for his lyricism, flow and wit on the mic.
He was featured on the Skibadee mixtape "2 Fast 2 Ferocious " in 2003 which was his the first mixtape he was on but a year prior a bootleg mixtape had circulated online entitled "It's Real, Vol. 1. He was also featured on many sets on radio stations.
