His videos would find consistent three-digit viewership until a video of him rapping the lyrics to his song, DTW, saw nearly a 4000% increase in views. The video, with his white tile backdrop, became a staple in his TikTok posts, seeing exponential growth. In this period, it gained him the attention of a handful of publications such as Lyrical Lemonade.
