He has released numerous projects independently and through labels like Die-Lit Records, gaining recognition within underground hip-hop communities for his prolific output and unique sonic approach.

The concert is scheduled to take place at Knockdown Center in Maspeth, Queens, New York. Originally a metal fabrication facility dating back to the 1920s, Knockdown Center was repurposed as a multi-disciplinary arts venue in 2013. The space maintains its industrial aesthetic with high ceilings and large open areas.

Knockdown Center hosts a diverse range of events including concerts (spanning genres like electronic music, punk, and hip-hop), art installations, film screenings and performances. It's known for its raw atmosphere and commitment to showcasing both established and emerging artists. The venue’s size allows for relatively intimate experiences while accommodating sizable audiences; it has become a notable fixture in the New York City independent arts scene.
