He released the mixtape Malmaison in 2013,[7] and followed up with the album Stigmata in 2014.[1]

Stigmata includes guest appearances by Wiley, JME, Skepta, Merky Ace, Saukrates, Andreena and k-os.[1] The album was a shortlisted Juno Award nominee for Rap Recording of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2015.[8]
