He has won a notable DJ competition, his album Reality Kings and Reason was critically reviewed from an independent source. He was also involved in the production of Malt Disney EP which HipHopDX positively reviewed.

Are you able to provide a link to any biographical reviews in notable secondary sources? The link above is an amateur review posted to a non-notable website. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 11:15, 1 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The first and third links are short, primary source interviews. The second link is kind of nothing. Please have a look at secondary sources. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 12:41, 1 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
