He developed an interest in rap during his school years, recording his first tracks in sixth grade. In 2011, he enrolled at Saint Petersburg State University, majoring in Applied Ethics. Booker gained initial recognition in 2014 after battling fellow rapper Gnoiny and remained active in battle rap until 2018. His career highlights include reaching the finals of Versus: Fresh Blood 2, where he finished as runner-up to XXOS.
