The first activity was in 2011-2014. In particular, for 11-12 years, the rapper recorded his tracks and posted them on his Youtube channel. But, unfortunately, these compositions did not become famous. There was no user demand for them.
During one of the parties on television, Boschetti met Charlie Charles. They started working together.
The result of this tandem was the creation of the group Billion Headz Money Gang. She is better known as BHMG. This collaboration has paid off. Already in 2013, he released Emergenza Mixtape Vol. 1.
