He began rapping in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. In April 2021, he released his track "Heartbroken" which was selected by Pitchfork as the "must-hear rap song of the day".[4] In November 2021, he released a freestyle titled "Tonight’s Da Night Freestyle".[5] In August 2022, he released his single titled "Real Hips",[6] which is described by Jon Caramanica of The New York Times as "a surprisingly luscious and nimble offering from the Newark rapper Bandmanrill that makes plain the through lines that connect drill music, Jersey club and bass music".[7] In October 2022, he released his debut project Club Godfather.[8], which contains collaborations with NLE Choppa, Lay Bankz, Skaiwater, Sha EK, and DJ Swill B.
