(D.I.T.C.), Wordsworth, A-F-R-O, Apathy, Recognize Ali, and Blaq Poet, plus his Brutal Beats instrumental series. Influenced by DJ Premier, Havoc, and The Alchemist, his production style is synonymous with hardcore lyricism and raw, battle-ready soundscapes. Recent 2026 releases include the vinyl LP "Selfy" with A.G., the Wordsworth album "Chemistry," and the June single "Great Muta Mist(WWPD)."
