Rap Industry

When he began rapping, he still had his job at the advertising firm and used money from his Bar Mitzvah to fund his rapping career, which was not taking off. Things took a turn for the better in 2013 when he went viral in April. In just a day, his song Ex-boyfriend had over a million views. It is a self-deprecating song where he compares himself with his girlfriend's ex-boyfriend.
He had his first concert in 2014 and released his debut album Professional Rapper, featuring significant players in the rap industry, such as Snoop Dogg, Brandon Urie, Lil Homie Quan, Fetty Wap, and several others. Since then, his career has soared.
